It's not what corals do better on what food, It's what corals do good with stable parameters.. The answer is all..
calfo has some good books on coral (mostly focused on propagation, but still good info). also, wetwebmedia is a good site if you have a specific issue.
the forums are good for some stuff too, but you have to make sure that the advice you are following is from someone reputable.

Great book is " Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman. It is easy to follow and very informative
Let me just say this hobby is not for the faint hearted but you have made a very good start by gathering information on the hobby and being a member of MF.Anyway extreme corals .com has a coral care page that will help you a little with coral food and lighting good luck.
I had a bad experience with extremecorals.com.
Stuff arrived dead, as the water was about 50 degrees, and the owner said he would give me a full refund on the stuff that died. He said he would call me back later that day, he never called, would not answer/return my calls, and he ignored my emails as well.

I agree with the other reply look at the forums at the bigger sites just pick up a couple of books for reference. Most books are too hard for a beginner to fully understand and when you finally do you don't need it.
Off the subject I never had a problem with Extreme Corals keep calling or put in a grievance with CC company

There is a book club on this site HERE I remember the book they discussed the most was the Conscientious Marine aquarist (if i spelled that right I'm going on a spelling bee) this book might be advanced and technical can't really say haven't looked at it just glanced it. Someone mentioned Eric Bonerman and he is a good author, whose (and I don't know if he does it intentionally) wording is more understandable to an average non scientific person (like Myself)
