Input on some books

[criketnest]

I already have the Fenner book and the Marine Fish guide. I am looking for a good book about inverts (would like it to have info on snails, crabs shrimp since I am not ready for any coral or even thinking about buying any coral yet) and for anything that is good for identifying any hitchikers.
While I was at LFS today I say a Thing that looked like a giant leech on one of the rocks. Was kinda gross. I am not sure what is good or what isn't.
Also I have a Thing that looks like a greyish colored grape on the new live rock I bought No clusters just a round grape like thing. About the size of the tip of a pinky finger.
Thanks
Chris

Bornemann is a good writer, and Julian Sprunge's reef inverts is a good guide

Well, Borneman's excellent book is mainly about corals. Sprung's Invertebrate book is good too.
