I haven't picked it up yet but here's a bad screenshot from the video he posted. I dont even know if it's a real name honestly, but the guy I got it from is good about being upfront if he makes the name up.

It stands for Craps (only a different word that starts with an S and sounds like hits) on the Cherry Bomb. I have it. It's not very common. @Brad Bessett is the one who named it for Matt Van Devender. He can tell you the story if you ask him LOL. It's a Tenuis with Red/pink polyps and a blue body. I would ask the person that you got it from where they got it.
Here's a frag I sold a while back of it. It's a fairly slow grower for a Tenuis.

Fantastic info, thank you! I'll have to ask him where he got it.

Hey hey!
This was a new unnamed piece Matt was growing out and he brought me a frag on a visit (or he shipped it, I can't remember). It was similar to the Cherry Bomb so I mounted a fresh frag of the Cherry Bomb next to Matt's new piece and let them go for a few months. They were off in a frag tank (at this time I was overflowing with SPS) and kind of forgot about the project.
Fast forward a few months, Matt and I were talking one night and he asked about that piece he sent... I walk over to the two frags (now grown out with several new branches each) and I said on the phone - "Dang! It's over here $**tting all over the Cherry Bomb!". Matt got a big chuckle about it and said that would be a hilarious name. Thus, SOTCB was born.
Cheers! I'm still looking for a frag back!
