What's in a name?

[Science/G]

So I'm here looking at my @Battlecorals frag, dang you electric sex pants

and I was thinking about trade names of corals and how they resonate with people. Is it the inside joke that matters, is it the realistic description? What do you all think? Did a Homewrecker Acropora actually cause marital problems when the first frags were sold?

Homewrecker is from the financial infadelity that comes with buying expensive coral lol

From Google about Homewrecker

When Jason Fox first debuted the highly-coveted Acropora tenuis lineage at major trade shows like Reef-A-Palooza (RAP) and MACNA, individual frags measuring just 3/8" to 1/2" with only a few polyps regularly sold straight from his booth for $1,200 to $1,400
