"Reef Invertebrates", a must read!

[fishmamma]

:jumping: :jumping: :jumping: I just received my copy of Reef Invertebrates: An Essential Guide to Selection, Care and Compatibility written by Anthony Calfo and Robert Fenner. This book is worth it's weight in gold over the photographs alone. I have not yet read it through but know it will be a wonderful reference to those reef keeping in this hobby. :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

I've actually been looking at that book and it gets good reviews. Kind of pricey but I still have some Christmas gift certificates that I need to use.

I'm thinking maybe A PocketExpert Guide to Marine Invertebrates: 500+ Essential-to-Know Aquarium Species . I have that one and the one for fishes.

It was a bit pricey but it has been on my wish list for quite some time and I am so thrilled to finally have it. I have thumbed through many marine keeping books and this is by far the best for invert ID that I have seen.

[celacanthr]

Oh yes, I have had the blue brittle since about january 5th. I haven't seen it even once though :-(

[fishmamma]

Certainly they can be a nuisance. Do you have many of them?
