I'm looking for suggestions on a couple good books on coral care and identification. I don't want to keep pestering folks here with 100 questions.

Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman.
Conscientious Marine Aquarist
The Complete Encyclopedia of the Saltwater Aquarium.
Those are probably the three I read the most. I have a stack past my knees, but those three I find to be the most helpful expecially when I cross reference. I have still not found an encyclopedia of nothing but corals which has all the answers, but the first book listed is pretty darn close. Hope this helps.

yeah they are, but if you look in the appropriate bays and e sites, can be way more affordable than buying from a LFS or Barnes adn Peasant

I'll be looking for those. Thanks folks. I think I should do my own research instead of asking every goofy question all the time.
I value all the opinions and collective knowledge of the great folks here that have "been there-done that", but I need to study and take some knocks of my own.

Any more suggestions are highly appreciated.

like reefer545 said aquarium corals by eric h. borneman. I have a bunch of coral books and this is the best. Its a little boring like a school book but has all the best info.
