I purchased this frag from wwc. It was listed as absolute zero acro. Does it possibly have another name? Ive tried googling images but only came up with the wwc listing. https://goo.gl/images/xe4tdQ
Alot of frags nowadays are grown in coral propagation tanks and are hybridized and changed from original forms hence some of those crazy colors on the market you look at any picture of corals in the wild they dont quite look like the ones on the frag market

Which is why you will have a hard time finding a alternate name

Corals that come from the wild will often change colors in captivity, which is normal and can take sometimes a year or two. I’m not sure what you mean by “hybridized” though. No one is breeding corals in captivity for sale. :) In fact spawning in captivity is rare and only in recent years did a scientist get a coral to do so by triggering it somehow. https://reefbuilders.com/2015/05/20/watch-coral-spawning-captivity/
