Encyclopedia of corals/livestock in the hobby?

Online fish vendors have limited info and only show whats in stock, does anyone know a good resource to look up info and photos of all fish and corals generally available in the hobby?

+1 to live aquaria. Also tidal gardens for coral. On top of care instructions they have a lot of video about care.

I like liveaquaria for a quick overview, but it doesn't show things that arent in stock unless you search it specfically. I want something I can browse.

You could try Quality Marine's site:

It has only basic information about the fish but as far as an index on what's available in the hobby it's hard to find anything more complete since they supply a good portion of it.

I have these curious items on the shelves of my entertainment system. I believe they are called books; a quaint concept apparently made from trees. One of them, Borneman’s book on corals, is an excellent resource on coral identification. Scott Michaels incomplete reef fishes series is equally excellent.

Corals are tricky though as environmental conditions can have the same species look completely different. Vendors will give them silly names and sell as different when they are actually the same species.

This is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
