While I do agree that this topic of putting stupid names on something that have nothing to do with a specimen is VERY often covered, we do have over 12000 members on here and they are not always salty dogs like some of us. While you could google or whatever, this forum exists as a place to come for info on the hobby and making the point again doesn't hurt. Besides, if I were a newbe I'd like to find a thread that was started in my lifetime. If it doesn't interest somebody, just move on. There is more than enough stuff on here to read.
These opinions are my own and do not reflect the opinions of the management, sponsors or yada, yada, yada! :tongue:
Anyway, if people would learn to stop buying hype and start buying corals because they like them instead of getting to say "I got the latest greatest and you don't. I can't wait until this booger grows big enough so I can sell it too" , we would be alot better off. I can think of a few recent "gotta have" pieces I wouldn't buy no matter how rare or unique they are. They are just plain UGLY in my opinion. Bottom line is unfortunately color costs money in this hobby. Once someone picks up a nice piece, there is money to be made and if hype can drive up demand then price goes up with it. It's inevitable.
