What's in a name?

[20LogR]

First time zoa keeper here, on my first tank I went straight SPS with a few LPS here and there. It was pretty easy to keep track of the "named" corals that I had, but I wasn't really concerned with the names. It seems that with Z&P's that names mean much more. With 100's or 1000's of different color morphs available. How does one keep all their polyps straight?


Personally I don’t really care about the names, but If I ever try and sell/trade a frag people want to know.

Pics when you get a frag with name, save photos so you have a cheat sheet....but you'll remember them after a while lol

I was thinking little named stakes like a freshly planted garden on the frag rack, that plus the pictures would be a good start. Do you just keep them in a folder on the PC?

Yes on the PC, also try a "battle ship" frag rack.


I.e. - the frag at Q2 is blowpop zoas, F1 is fruit loops etc etc.

Great idea, anyone else want to share?
