*by F***E on March 28, 2012*

I'm new to the hobby (less than 1 year) and saw this book at the local fish store upon one of my first visits to the store. The price tag scared me away... Then one day I was surfing around Amazon and remembered the book! I bought this in conjunction with The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert M. Fenner. Another pricey reference book, but the "fish" version to Sprung's "Corals."Sprung's book is a thorough reference guide of all coral enthusiasts. There are tons of colorful photographs, and you can tell there was a lot of effort put into classifying the different corals and their origins. I do have a few minor complaints, though. First, the title is Corals "A Quick Reference Guide," and I wouldn't really call it a "quick" reference guide. The book is basically broken into two "huge" chapters: Hard Corals and Soft Corals. Pretty broad... Second, the corals are listed according to their scientific name. That is awesome, but I have a hard time remembering the "common" names for the corals I see at the local fish store... So, quick turns into flipping page by page until I see the picture of the coral I want/am interested in. It hasn't failed me yet.Beyond the colorful pictures and knowing the scientific name of the coral, there is a chart that shows thou where you should place the coral in the tank (very helpful). It includes other relevant information, including a brief description. When I say brief, I mean BRIEF. You'll be hitting the interwebs looking for more information, once you've found what you're looking for in the book.The "Aggressiveness" gauge on the charts seem poorly calibrated. The explanation is very vague... It doesn't hold water, in my eyes. Also, the book doesn't mention feeding information, which is really important, in my opinion.It's a nice "coffee table" book, but not a good reference material for a serious reef tank hobbyist...
