what does the term "morph" mean?

It means "to change." Basically, we use it when a coral changes appearance from what it appeared to be. Usually when someone talks about a particular "zoa morph" they are talking about a change that has been sustained in new palys grown from a colony or frag that looked different than the new product (the new morph).
