Books???

I'd suggest "The coral reef aquarium" by Ron shimek. It's by far the best book I've seen for the new reefkeeper. It really explains the basics in a clear, concise manner, leaving out many of the mind boggling details and options. Once you're finsihed with that, "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman is a good comprehensive reference for identification and captive care issues with all sorts of corals.
