Books of Corals - Advanced?

[maxalmon]

I'm ready to take my knowledge of reef keeping to the next level and my goal is start learning the scientific names and common names of corals. I'm looking for more of a "Coral Dictionary" I guess, I would like to learn more about each coral along with it's name etc...
.
Anyone know of reference books or any books that I should start with. A book that list each coral with color photo and details would be ideal, maybe I'm dreaming that something like this exist?

have you checked out "Reef invertebrates" by anthony calfo and robert fenner?
that might be along the lines of what your looking for though it covers more than just corals.

"Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman. It's everything you ever wanted to know about corals but were afraid to ask. Or, that you didn't know that you should be asking.
