I am looking for a good back that describes the common creatures that we see
on Pacific coral reefs.  A book with photos, common names, and some text on
behavior and habitat would be ideal.  I'd appreciate your recommendations.
 
Three possibly suitable books are below, and I'd appreciate a quick review,
comparison or alternative suggestion:
 
1.  Coral Reef Animals of the Indo-Pacific
     - Animal Life from Africa to Hawaii Exclusive of the Vertebrates
          1996. Terrence M. Gosliner, David W. Behrens and Gary C. Williams.
 
2.  Tropical Pacific Invertebrates
     - A Field Guide to the Marine Invertebrates Occurring on
     Tropical Pacific Coral Reefs, Seagrass Beds and Mangroves
          1995. Patrick L. Colin and Charles Arneson.
 
3.  Indo-Pacific Coral Reef Field Guide
          1994. Gerald R. Allen and Roger Steene.
 
Thanks,
John
