yauger July 10, 2008 July 10, 2008 I know there is a really good one sold by BRK and I think the author is "Veron" but can't seem to find it on Amazon. would you happen to know which one I'm speaking of?
OUsnakebyte July 10, 2008 July 10, 2008 The gold standard of coral ID books; yes, I highly recommend. We have the 3 volume set at work, and they are my main reference materials. In addition to ID, Veron takes you through the history and evolution of reefs and also about his improvement on Darwinian evolution, Reticulate Evolution. There is also an accompanying CD found here - AIMS However, these materials only discuss the Scleractinians. For gorgonians, zoanthids, other octocorals, etc., you'll need to look elsewhere. Happy reading and ID'ing!!! Cheers Mike

Highland Reefer July 14, 2008 July 14, 2008 (edited) holy cow thats an expensive book... Found it a bit cheaper... $129.99 http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewitem.asp...channelid=SHOPC Plus $10.00 shipping & handling. There are three books included in this price which comes out to about $46.67/book. That's not a bad price. This volume is definitely in my wish list. Edited July 14, 2008 by Highland Reefer
