I like "Marine Aquarium Handbook: Beginner to Breeder" by Martin A Moe Jr

 

Amazon.com: Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History (9781890087470): Eric H. Borneman, Scott W. Michael, Janine Cairns-Michael: Books
Looks pretty good to me (I'm reading it now).
Aquarium Corals - Selection, Husbandry and Natural History by Eric Borneman

 

The Reef Aquarium, Volumes I, II, III.Charles Delbeek and Julian Sprung.

A lot of science behind the equipment we use in volume three and water chemistry. Volume two, is soft corals and anemone ID and husbandry. Volume one, general overview, Tridacna ID and husbandry as well as the stony corals.

 

A book I picked up when I started researching corals is a book called "corals a quick reference guide" written by julian sprung. It shows pics, tells you what to feed them, lighting requirements and placement. Brand new they are a little pricey but I got mine used from barnes and nobles and its in perfect condition. Julian sprung has an invertebrates quick reference guide too.
