i use it to help learn of the many different species out there. especially with vendors changing the name for the sake of “oRiGiNaLiTy” it difficult for newer reefers to know what they have.

its just that i have sps corals and have no idea what they are. And more so to protect my self from knowing what is what, someone might sell me a "high end" acro just to find out it just a regular green slimer or sometrhing...

The polyps look like a pavona maldivensis, however, it is plating so it’s most likely some other species of pavona.

Should I just come up with a name then and make it as "Super rare coral" and sell frags at $499/ 1/4" frag? Lol

Nice colony, you don't see large pavona colonies too often.

And no, we never tire of ID posts.
