books
Imm looking to expand my library. Does anyone know of a good:
1. Coral identification guide? 2. Coral biology book? 3. Reef fish ID Guide? (Carribbean and/or Pacific) 4. Reef fish biology book/behavior book? (Again Car. and/or Pac.) I already own Borneman's "Aquarium Corals" (great book) and the Marine Invertebrates and Reef Fishes Pocket Experts Guides (good but abrupt and limited b/c theres so much info) I was looking into the Reef xxxxx Identification series. I knoiw they make a reef fishes, reef corals, and reef creatuires for the Carribbean and a Reef fishes for the trop Pacific. (Ill probably get these anyway. Ive used them before and like them alot). Any others??

I have these as reference for a fish id cert I'm working on:
http://www.amazon.com/Reef-Set-Creat...4264264&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Reef-Fish-Beha...4264264&sr=8-3 I haven't read them completely, but they are great books as they define the boundaries of their knowledge instead of assuming they are the "be all-end all" definitive guide.
