The Metrosexualness of Coral Naming

[Unarce]

I thought it would be fun to bring this up. As a collector of SPS, I find myself getting caught up in the marketably 'named' rare corals. In a hobby that I would consider dominated by males, some of these names are awfully effeminate:

Purple Pillow
Rainbow Monti
Flower Petal

What other names do you find odd or limp-wristed?


:lol:

Pumpkin Pie
Pinky micromussa (but a girl named this)
Pink Sprinkles
Pink Lemonade
(hell, anything pink )

Um, I'm telling

Calling John "limp wristed", that's it, no more pink sprinkles and lemonade for either of you (darn it, Karls got em both :lol:....must be attracted to pink?)

I found an entire site of ridiculously named zoos for sale. It was pathetic but freaking hilarious at the same time. I bet you can guess what I think of the whole naming crap. What's even funnier is when one person starts showing off their lillies of the valley polyps and another dude shows off his collection of the exact same color polyp and they start fighting with one another about who really has the lillies of the valley.

Dew in the meadows

There's a bazillion.

I am zoo collector,

There are just to many variation in zoo color to not give all the obvious zoo variation a name. Do anyone know if the Gorilla Nipples zoo will always display the long skirt? What about the new baby polyp. how long will they grow their long skit?

thanks
