To me the name isn't important at all. If I like the look of the coral I buy it.

Coralpedia has lots of great pictures but they also have lots of doubles. Infact there are even two names for the same picture "red red wine" and some other one. Looks close to Darth Mauls. I have a bunch of zoas now that I have no
Name for and aren't even shown on the site. Still love em!

I use a Canon Xsi (I think) and always take top downs with a view finder I built out of a piece of PVC tub and an acrylic sheet. I can never get a good shot through a pain of glass. They always come up blurry and dull looking. I find you can pick up the colour of corals better with a top down. I am sure though Shelps can help you out with photos . He sems to have it down pat.
