Best Book for SW ids and inverts?

[roka64]

All,
What is the best book for SW fish. I am looking for something easy to look up different fish and inverts/coral. Any one have any good ideas? Maybe some kind of encyclopedia (not one for marine biologist).

To ID SW fish I say get Marine Fishes by Scott W. Michael and to ID corals I would get Marine Invertebrates by Ronald L. Shimek

I took the liberty to link you to amazon.

Sweet, thanks, I have looked at quite a few books and was getting bug-eyed!

I also like Sprungs coral book for ID and quick information.

I like "Reef Invertebrates...An Essential Guide toSelection, Care, and Compatibility" by Calfo & Fenner
