Check these out

I'll have to do a side by side of all mine to better describe the differences I see.

Things that stand out are the color differences not only on the dot of the mouth, the radial striations outward from the mouth on the oral disc not only color but definition.

I have Cat Eye's, Coco Pink, Carlito's Cat Eyes, and Who Dah Cat eyes. All very distinctive differences. Some could be morphs of each other, some are just different.

If you could do side by sides of the varieties in pics that'd be awesome! that way discrepencies such as lighting and photo editing wouldn't be a factor.
 
Thanks much! I'll drop him a brief email and see if there's any way a non-computer guy could be of help.

I know a lot of people are posting that they have cat's eyes or coco's that are different than the ones pictured- and I'm not disagreeing with any of you. The problem is, we all call things what we call them for just the heck of it, we're not comparing names to any given source like an encyclopedia or anything. The colony I got was sold to me as "pink palys" (the store I bought them from isn't very creative with naming, the guy spent 30 minutes applauding himself for coming up with blackana for a black acan.) Now I look up pics, say "hey, those are cat's eyes for sure." Six months later, someone shows a "coco's pink" and I'll say "nope, I have cat's eyes, that pink of coco's is wrong." and it's all worth about the same.
The only thing I know that hobbiests have established as of yet to create a documentation of names is coralpedia/zoaid, so until its library is cleaned up, we're all running in circles if we say "well my XX's look different, so that picture is wrong," right?

I don't disagree at all, in fact that was part of why I originally got in touch with "Da Man". In all fairness, however, they had already started to link similar morphs at that time.

However, don't forget there is this site also;
The Coral Vault :: Coral Database

Rob that would be awesome - Coral Pedia has started doing a little of this as well, I think its very helpful when you can pictures of similar morphs side by side - similar to what I did with the Strawberry Wines and Space Monster.
