  Comment from a reader at Amazon:

This is the greatest coral book ever written! It is a masterpiece and includes some of the best underwater coral photography ever published.It talks about corals strictly out on the wild reef, but if you take the requirements of the animal in the wild and apply it to your home aquarium you can not fail. This book is also the best for identifing all of those mystery stony corals you have in your tank. There is not one stony coral on the reef that this book does not discuss. If you have stony corals or plan to have them in the future then this book is a must have on your list. The price tag is a little high I know, but worth every cent. The great pictures alone make it a great coffee table book and worth the price. If you love corals don't pass this book up!
 

Comment from a reader at Amazon:

"This is a fabulous set of books. It is probably the most complete taxonomic encyclopedia of stony corals in existence. The pictures are beautiful and the information fascinating. That said, this is not for your basic reef aquarist. It covers only the stony corals of the order scleractinia. There is nothing here about zoanthids, corallimorphs or the various other soft corals."

  Comment from a reader at Amazon:

An amazingly well done field guide useful for even advanced fish enthusiasts and scuba divers. I have used this book on dive trips to the Egyptian red sea, the sea of Cortez in Mexico and to Cuba, as well as while walking trough several aquariums in the US, and I have hardly ever failed to find a tropical fish species I observed in this book. The illustrations are well done and include juveniles, sex differences and regional color variants. In addition to the geographic range of a species, the likely occurrence on the reef (lagoon, outward reef, sand ...), the depth ranges and information about fish behavior are indicated. I have found this additional information extremely useful, especially when trying to identify one of several similar species.
 

This book contains coral and other invertebrates as well. Doesn't contain in-depth information but is a good book for identification of different species. The chart on the overleaf is really useful for quickly identifying the family of what a particular animal is from.

  This book covers coral reefs all over the world. It is not a coral or fish identification tool, but gives the reader an understanding of the current state of coral reefs worldwide. Individual reefs from particular locations are listed and discussed. The maps are superb, as are the color photographs. Great book for an overall look at coral reefs.  

This book and others by Mr. Humann are the best in class for Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas! This is one of three in a "Reef Set" series.

Check out all of Paul Humann's books.
