Best book for Id'ing corals.

rynon · 11/27/2008, 04:29 PM

Looking for the best book to ID corals. I don't mean something like the difference (for example) between favia and favites, I can ID that with my eyes. What I'm looking for (for example) is a book with ALL the types of Favia......like Favia speciosa, Favia Favus, etc. It would be a really long book if it exists

.

The aims coral search page is gone so I need another way to ID corals or at least attempt to.

Corals of the World, it is a 3 book set by J.E.N. Veron for about 150.00 usd

Apparently volume 3 has the Favides in it? It's not in volume one or two so I would assume three. I cannot see any of the pages in volume three online so?????

I guess you can see why I want "this" book? I'm addicted to the Favides.
