I'm looking for recommendations for good "picture books" or more technical keys to fish, corals, and other inverts of Bali and/or that vicinity. I love Humann and Deloach's "Reef Set" for the Caribbean and found it helpful and was hoping for something similar. I have the "Reef Fish Identification: Tropical Pacific" (by Allen, Steene, Humann and Deloach), but I've got a lot of pictures of fish that I took but that I can't seem to make heads or tails of in this work.

Thus, I'm looking for recommendations for coral and invert books of any kind and a better fish book wouldn't hurt.

Anybody have a favorite or favorites they'd recommend?

(And once I've gone through my pics, is this a good spot to post pics of critters I can't ID for group input?)
 
I can't help with books—Allen et al. is the best I've seen—but I look forward to replies from others.

Regarding posting photos for ID assistance, iNaturalist.org has been helpful for me, as well as Reef.org
