Not so much an identification guide, not exactly current, but the earth trembled (esp.Tullok) when it was published. The Reef Aquarium by J. Charles Delbeek, and Julian Sprung is a great book very well rounded. Again you can get a lot of info here, for example I'll start, NO supplements for you (seinfeld refrence). There is no Miracle Gro for reefs, don't over complicate things, get sold equipment. Skimmer, lighting, rock your good to go until you say wow, my "fill in the blank" isn't "fill in the blank" maybe I should ask the fine folks over at aquaria central if I should "fill in the blank" or what?
