Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for an in-print, dead tree edition on coral identification, selection, tank parameters, feeding, and other care. I'd prefer one with lavish color photography suitable for browsing. Ideally, this would include photos of mature specimens and not just frags.
What is your go-to reference that isn't online? I do value online resources, but sometimes I'd just rather hold a (comprehensive) book. Thanks in advance!

This may or may not be what you are looking for, but IMO it is one of, if not the best hardcopy for coral identification.
