Here is the “best” book, what people think is new or innovative isn’t. Look at the cover: sps, clams, LPS, soft corals, and mangroves….
Above series is very good. Online, the advanced aquarist magazine. Coral magazine is good for print options if you like paper in hand.

There are several for under $10 on Ebay. I like John Tullocks books alot. Paletta would be my next favorite. Of course Sprung and Delbeek are excellent also.

Another online publication is Reefbuilders. If you want to expand your knowledge on fish and their care, I would recommend any book by Scott W. Michael.

Amazon product ASIN 1890087017
I don’t know why the price is below $10. I paid $30 ten years ago.
Debunking the myth that reef aquariums need to be wildly expensive and technologically complex, John Tullock offers a new, radically simple approach to producing beautiful, captive microcosms.
Using live rock and live sand as part of a natural filtration system, the home aquarist can now create vibrant reef tanks that are biologically stable and simple to maintain.
With Tullocks suggestions, the reefkeeper can now mimic natural habitats such as a Florida Keys Lagoon, a Caribbean Turtle Grass Flat, an Indo-Pacific Deep Cave, or a Red Sea Patch Reef. With more than 200 color photographs and illustrations, Natural Reef Aquariums provides inspiration for both beginning and expert marine reef hobbyists.
