Good Book on Corals?

[wax32]

I'm looking for a good book for a coral newbie. What do you guys suggest? I'm thinking about: Corals: A Quick Reference Guide (Oceanographic Series) by Julian Sprung for my first Coral book.

Or maybe: Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History by Eric H. Borneman

I have both books.
For a newbie with corals, the Borneman book is VASTLY superior. I only really use the pictures in the other book as it is much less user-friendly for someone who wants to learn the basics.

Thanks! I read the reviews on that book ordering site and went ahead and ordered the Aquarium Corals one.
