HAs anyone ever heard of a coral from RR called Heaven & Earth? Echinata maybe?

Thank you.
 
But seriously the names are getting a little ridiculous. Like Ultimate Epic Mili on ebay its a little crazy!
I'd rather have someone tell me they have a Heaven and Hell Milli, and know right away what it looks like:

Than just "my pink milli" which can be so many different things:

While I understand that...and its perfectly fine...but a nice colored millie that can cost 20-30$ for a 1"
Frag will cost u 200-250$ just bc of the name.

These things are not going to change just bc if "you are willing to pay and I'm willing to buy ".

Don't worry, I understand the name game and hyping.

I am saying that I do like names because they serve their purpose in letting you know what the coral is. Like Pink Lemonade or Oregon Tort or Rastas etc. You know what those look like right off the bat when you hear that vs hearing "that red polyp acro, blue acro, or green zoa."

If some brown coral was named rainbow ultra spectrum delight, but was still brown and they asked for $200 and some people bought it, you know it's not the name's fault that it got bought. It's the people that bought it. There will still be those who know it's not worth $200 and will just chuckle at those who did buy it mindlessly. Can't exactly say you shouldn't have pieces named to prevent people from buying absurdly expensive pieces. It's their fault for buying a piece over the name vs what it actually looks like.
