Recommend a good reef book?

[maryc137]

I want to buy a good book about reefs and inhabitants. One that tells how to maintain, and identifies the different corals, mushrooms, invertabrates, etc. What is the best one?

The best book I have to date is THE REEF AQUARIUM by Charles Delbeek and Julian Sprung..There are two editions and the books are a little pricy but well worth it ..I think they are about 59 bucks each volume one is awesome and I will be definitely buying volume 2 very soon..I am constantly using it as a reference....VERY RECOMMENDED>>>>>>I also have others and they don't even compare

I have both and I would not want to do without them, they are wonderful.
