5 stars. An excellent up to date resource for the marine hobbyist!
Eric's Borneman's CORALS is an excellent resource for the advanced and beginner hobbyist alike. It provides beautiful photos and detailed descriptions of corals in their native habitat as well as their place in our aquariums. The information is as up to date as you could hope from any book and the information invaluable. It's neatly organized and makes great use of it's large glossary which makes it's an easy and education read.

5 stars. Amazing
Not only is this book the most informative I have found but there are so many photos to reference. I would recommend to everyone that wants to keep a reef aquarium to add to your library. Well worth the price.

5 stars. Excellent resource!
This is the best all around resource on corals. I managed an aquatics department for a petstore for a year, and this book was the one I recommended for new reefkeepers. It is organized taxanomic (by species) and has great info on coral needs and propagation. This is a must have for any saltwater library, and I return to it often.
