Book about inverts.

Whenever I want to learn about fish I first had to Marine Fishes by Scott Michael. Is there a similar book for common inverts of the saltwater trade? Whenever I go to my lfs I see tons of cool crabls, starfish, snails etc and it'd be handy to have a book like that to take along. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Reef Invertebrates by Anthony Calfo is pretty good
oh sorry - you want a pocket guide. nvm, it won't fit in your pocket. Still a good book though

Marine Invertebrates by Ronald L Shimek is the pocket expert guide similar to Marine Fishes.
The only thing I don't like about it is the rating system for coral lighting. For example, this book says any zooanthids need bright illumination. Okay, that's good, but what does that mean? It has great pics BTW.
