Thats a whole different ball game, but can be referenced back to the original post. So many different drinks with just one different ingredient different.. The names are endless.

Which brings up back to the origional topic. If we called the corals by their actual name, (or the closest we can get to it, in some cases) then everyone familiar with it will know what we're talking about. :wink:


*note* I do have respect for Atlantis Aquarium, they have very nice, healthy corals and do list the actual name. They're good people running a good business. They just use the cute names for color reference, I guess.

For the companies that list corals as simply "Brain Corals" or "Candy corals", I won't waste my time with them.

Well, I'm certainly not going to say they do or don't. This I can say, the corals I've gotten from them, and the corals I've seen in friends tanks from them were all good looking, colorful and healthy.

Yeah, I would have to agree with Sue. Every coral we received looked exactly like the picture on the website.

If you ever decide to order, let us know, we will join in.
