[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Hey everyone! I wanted to expand my knowledge of corals and their science. Does anyone have any books that they would highly recommend?

Aquarium Corals Selection, Husbandry & Natural History by Eric H Borneman is the coral book I reference most. Its more an intermediate to high beginner (can't find things by common name in index) book.

....or YouTube

How very true.
I have a book about reef fish that I checked out of my public library about 20 years ago. I wonder how much it'd cost to take it back, wait are libraries still a thing.

The one by Eric H. Borneman is one I’d recommend. And yes Jay as well.

Thanks for the support, but I really haven't written anything on reefs, I'm more of a fish person. You should see my awful home reef tank (grin).

I am also more of a fish person too. If you want books on fish I recommend the series by Scott W. Michael as well as WetWebMedia (well not a book but basically electronic version of “Conscientious Marine Aquarist” by the late Bob Fenner).

If you want some academic sources would recommend finding books by Warren Burgess, Gerard Allen, Jack Randall etc.

He passed away from a heart disease. RIP. It came so suddenly. He was responding to my emails weeks before that.

Any Book recommendation about Clams? Thanks.

James Fatherree wrote a book on Tridacna clams. I’ve not read it, but he is very knowledgeable - about $33 on Amazon.
