Please suggest a good SPS Reference Book
 
Looking to add a good SPS Reference Book to the collection.
Can anyone suggest a good one?

Looking for a quality reference manual, large variety of types, photo's, care etc.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

J Sprung has some good books, but I find everything I need to know on the internet. It's all there at the tip of your fingers and the best part...it free!

Corals of the world. It's a three volume set, V1 is pretty much all acropora and montipora. Great reference/ID guide. Not cheap though.

Thanks Jager, spend tons of time on the internet but looking for a reference manual cause web search is a tad frustrating when you don't have a name/family to start with.

Thanks for the suggestion, this might be exactly what I need. Will look them up.

Maybe this will help?

Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman is affordable and continues to be one of the best books available. Even though its around 10 years old now most of the information inside is still applicable. I personally find it more useful than the random and sometimes outrageous things posted in these forums.

Wow, that's one of the best working collections i've seen yet. It just replaced my PDF thingy i had in bookmarks, tanks for the link.

I use this site when trying to ID an unknown frag. Use the "Key to Acropora" to figure out what you've got.

Cheers!

This is the best of the best for an available hard copy reference.
