first of all, what books do you already have ?

marine reef aquarium handbook by dr.robert j goldstein, is the only one i could find, but i have 4 others on saltwater aquariums(not much info at all on corals).

I have a few books, a couple which give some good information on different aspects of Marine aquarium to include some corals are The complet book of the Marine Aquarium by Vincent B Hargreaves.. I also have The super sinple guide to Corals by James W Tatherree.
Aquarium Corals (sold on this site) is a very good book also.

if you want something more in depth these are awesome!
The modern coral reef aquarium. by svein a. fossa and alf jacob nilsen vol. 1-4
get all 4 volumes (if you can afford them, they are about 80 bucks a pop) but well worth it. i have learned more in those books than reading the other 20 books i bought when i first got into the hobby combined.
hope i helped you out a little bit.

One of my favorites is "Corals A Quick Reference Guide" by Julian Sprung. Nice pictures, gives brief descriptions, handy reference.
