The best by far is the Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robbert Fenner. Awesome book! Found it at Walden's Books in the mall.

These are the 2 books I have. The were very helpful with info. Marine Inverts and Corals A Quick Reference Guide by Julian Sprung.

Any book by Julian Sprung is good... There's also a really good video site with heaps of helpful info http://www.saltwaterhub.com hope this helps

julian sprung (he's got great advice and been in the hobby forever), same with bob fenner,,,,also make sure that anything you buy is not more than 5-7 years old,, technology jumps in this hobby..

Fenners book is great.
I like The Nano Reef Book by Chris Brightwell
A PocketExpert Guide to Marine Fishes: 500+ Essential-To-Know Aquarium Species by Scott W. Michael
A PocketExpert Guide to Marine Invertebrates: 500+ Essential-to-Know Aquarium Species by Ronald L. Shimek
Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History by Eric H. Borneman

It seems as if anything that says "complete guide to..." is junk...especially when it is the width of pamphlet. Fenner ftw.

saltwater fish for dummies is a good one but it is prety basic
