Book recommendations

I'm looking to buy a good book about coral care and identification, mainly sps. I think I know the basics for sps care, but always want to learn more! Any recommendations?

Thanks. I was looking at that one.

Very good book

I have that one, I love it. I do LPS and soft corals though but they have everything in there. They talk about captive care and all that good stuff.

Ok guess I'll get that book. Thanks! Any other good ones?
