I do and I don't!
If I see a coral that I like, having a good naming system can help me find it! The problem is "a good naming system."
the other problem is, for those people that think that other people are in business not make money. Money is the only reason for that headache!
It also amazes me that nobody wants named corals and nobody is going to pay that much for them, and yet, they are being named and sold and WWC and other are doing good business! And they should!

Free market will always win. If people weren’t buying the fancy names corals, then they wouldn’t be doing it. There is for sure marketing and psychology involved here, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be fun. Names don’t bother me as long as they contain the type of coral, so I know how to care for it.
P.S. Does anyone find the WWC ads in between posts hilarious!?

Its my opinion led lighting has contributed to the current craze. Seems everything that pops under royal blue is getting a name and the price to match. See cheetah mushroom in previous post. , odds are you couldent give it away. During the t5 & or metal halide days. on the other hand when somthing truly special. Shows up such as jawbreaker mushroom. a name is kinda fitting . in addition the recent bans on exporting have allowed above practices to become seated deeply in the market. By bottoming supply while demand is still growing
