But businesses use tactics to stay in business. That being whatever tactic that they choose. It doesn't always mean that they are morally and ethically correct. But of course it would Justin.

Boutique e-tailers are more like over hyped used car salesman to me. They didnt locate/discover said coral. No, they bought it off someone like everyone else. What would give me the right to go out and by a Honda civic and turn around and sell it as the 'JB LS'? True, I do have that right I guess, but it would be silly...wouldnt it be? ;) -Justin I disagree with it being comparable to Honda, or Sony etc. These companies engineer/design AND manufacture their products before they put there logo/name on it.

I also eye corals for their lustre or brilliance. Most of my corals I obtain from shipments, and not from seeing them being talked about online. The funny thing is, I obtain corals not knowing that they already have names (given by hobbyists). It happened with some zoas, and now with SPS. It is somewhat humorous. I hear ya!

However, whatever. I do have a couple Tyree corals, and indeed they look as they are 'supposed to', are extremely hardy, and were a bit pricey. But, I bought them because they were a sweet looking animal, not because of a name. The lack of use of good old latin names can be a little disturbing to me, and the number of downright absurd names I see for zoanthids makes me want to vomit, though I don't really care for zoas anyway. Either way, to each their own. No vemos las cosas como son, las vemos como somos nosotros... ;) I’ve read these threads lately, and it borders on ridiculous when someone tacks a name on a coral they’ve had for a year and shared with a couple people.
