Looking for a good coral husbandry book.

Something to keep handy and be able to take on the road to read.

I'd like to note: Books youve actually read would be apreciated. Ive got books based on hearsay, and was dissapointed.

Hi, I bought Eric H. Borneman's "Aquarium Corals" which is supposed to be the "bible" or corals books. It's a big and heavy book. Very disappointed (except for the pictures). It's scholarly and boring, lacking practical insights.
I have the small pocket size "Marine Invertebrates" by Ronald L. Shimek which I find much more interesting and concise.
Hope it helps!

Bornemans Corals book is by far the best and the one I have gone to most often. IMO
