I am thinking the second one is a Favia not a Blastomussa.
And IMO all show names (names that are not a general or species name) belong to a coral that has lineage. The zoanthid naming has just gotten out of control. Two different species of zoanthids with the same color get the same name just based on their color. Doesn't make sense to me. I hope this does not happen with other corals. It would be a shame to see preservation be replaced by marketing.

I really want to make sure that I'm not selling maybe a rare coral for dirt cheap but I'm also not gonna charge some namebrand I don't really play the namebrand game but I just want to make sure I know If does.
Because everyone who pays good money for coral I never see them selling them for dirt cheap I see them selling it for Reasonable Price of the value. I hope the value my coral make sure that I Charge a reasonable price price.

I've seen the favia before but dont remember what its called. look at sites such as cherry corals to figure out the name of that. For the acan, the best you can do is figure out if its from indo or aussie. Aussies usually command a higher price.

People are gong to pay what they think it is worth based on looks. Again IMO if one false adds a name/lineage to a coral to get more money out of it then to me that is deceiving. When you buy a frag that has this lineage and the name associated with it, you are buying something that came from that exact coral colony. Using that same name to associate a frag that is unsure of it's lineage would be creating an impostor.
If you have any doubts make your own name up and start your own lineage. Don't copy someone else name and make things confusing. My 2cents.
