Coral Naming ? What is WWC, RRC, ARC etc ?

[k2-]

I am trying to figure out what does these acronym with coral names stand for ? Are they worth the premium ? what are they exactly ?

They are made up.
They try to drive the price up cuz everyone needs to keep up with the Jones's.

This. Names attached to online coral dealers. Other honorable mentions are: Ultra, rare, super, acid etc.... buy coral that looks good and is cheap. Best place to buy is local reefers, not shops or online.

P.S Anything that is advertised as a sale or Live sale is just another means to hype you up into buying over priced coral. Or making you think that their "sale" price is actually a good thing, and not just slightly reasonable.

The letters you are asking about are Vendor abbreviations.

WWC = Worldwide Corals
ARC = A Reef Creation
RRC = Reef Raft Canada

The names that follow WWC or ARC, like WWC Grafted Monti, are the coral trade names may of which are made up by various vendors that aquaculture them.

Glad someone actually read the question. The abbreviation is usually the coral lineage aka, who named it, upped the price and is selling it.
