People are inventing names for stuff all the time. Latest marketing trick. One of my suppliers sent me a pic of something he called, "Kryptonite"... it was a pretty piece but the jazzy names do nothing for me - I want to know what it is 
Pretty coral - but the lighting in the shot doesn't look like standard 10K/actinic... do they say what lighting the picture was taken under?
Keep in mind too, that all corals react differently under different light, different flow... sometimes WYSIWYG *appears* different in the hobbyist's tank because their conditions are different.
I've had people tell me that something looked better, or not as good, in their tank versus mine - so I tell them what lights I had them under. If I had them under MH and the hobbyist puts them under PC, VHO or T5, or even another wattage/spectrum of MH, it's going to look different, plain and simple.

I agree on the names, When we order for someone we have to have the scientific name not a commom name, Too many names around for the same thing. Thats applies to fish and coral, It makes it hard to know what someone is talking about.
But that is a pretty coral.

I agree on the made up name deal....Before you buy find out what lighting the picture was taken under, and the scientific name of the critter your buying. E-Bay cracks me up the most....everything on there is SUPER RARE, with some goofy made up name

It doesn't say what lighting. Probly just acentics. I wasn't buying to costly for my tastes. I just think it looks pretty. Now what they did to make it pretty is anybodies quess. I have my opinion.
