I must agree.
There was a time I researched coral taxonomy and classification, in efforts to better identify corals. A couple of really oddball and rare corals (at that time) I received from Indo Pacific really sparked my interest. After wasting countless nights reading some of published text by both Veron and Borneman and getting help from Eric Borneman, I gave up. In fact at that time Eric mentioned that Im wasting my time.
There are simply too many variables that come into play when trying to ID some corals. Identifying captive corals, especially grown from frags is almost a sure waste of time.
