Ok guys,
So I am in search of some literature. I am looking for a coral ID book that has all necessary info in it per coral (picture, scientific name, common name, size, location, lighting requirements, flow requirements, feeding behavior/habits, compatibility with others, and a little description/splurge about the coral)
I really love the layout of the Pocket Experts Guide MARINE INVERTEBRATES and MARINE FISH, (by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D.) however I don't feel they cover all the bases and are limited as to how many different species they covered. I was looking into a book by Herbert Axelrod, but again, after researching a little more noticed that it's over 11yrs. old, a lot has changed since then.
So I leave this up to you, the intelligent reef-keeping community. Can you please help me find the correct book. There has to be one out there! I would like to find one that encompasses everything, although the truth may be that their is no such book and I may be required to get a few to cover my bases!
I'm sure I'm not alone in this search.. so speak up and let us all in on the little secret that is your favorite Coral ID book...!
