Aquarium Corals or The Reef Aquarium

[Jaws]

I'm looking to get a book that will give me the most information on all the different types of corals, mostly SPS, and what ideal conditions are needed for each. Would you reccommend "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman or "The Reef Aquarium Vol. 1" by Delbeek and Sprung? I hear Vol. 1 is an amazing all around book, which I really like, but does it give as much information on SPS corals as Aquarium Corals?

I bought both. If I only had one, I'd buy the other too. Buy the best deal for the sale, and then buy the second later on.

I have "Aquarium Corals" and have found it to be a very valuable reference. The only dislike I have with it, is that there is no indexing of the common names which sometimes makes it hard to find a particular coral. Often all I have to go by is the common name, and have to page through the book looking for the correct ID. Once you do find it, there is a list of some common names under each Genus. Otherwise, this book is an excellent resource in helping to choose and care for corals, I'd reccomend it highly.
