+1 to anything written by Deleek and Sprung!
I would add I think every aquarist needs to get a copy of Forest Rohwer and Merry Youle's "Coral Reefs in the Microbial Seas"! It has a great deal of current research that went into writing it but they manged quite successfully to keep it a very readable, and at points humorous, for the average aquarist and the E-book version is lonly $10. The recent research on the coral holobiont, coral diseases and the role of DOC, Dissolved Organic Carbon, in the deteriation of reefs as profound implications for long term success of reef aquariums.
