and just to let you know theres a higher price demanded from lineage corals. you pay more from getting it from the originator or the person to first slap a label on it and market the coral. realistically speaking, your view on labeling corals will never hold because people will always call them by a label because they could care less about scientific names
Yes there is a higher demand for 'lineage corals'. Becuase someone calls it LE people think it is truely LE and thus worth more.
What happens when people get a coral that looks like an LE and calles it an LE and sells it for the price of an LE?
Is that not a counterfiet coral? If it did not come from the source?
What does that do to the value of the trut LE, when the market is being flooded by so called LE corals?
Yes people will always go to the labeled name over the scientific name. why, two reasons,
1. people are affraid of scientific names, which are used because they are universial, acros languages, because people are afraid to try and pronounce Latin
and 2. Because catchy LE names sound cool.
