Is there a coral name guide somewhere?

[Artistic Oceans]

Is there a standard guide for coral names? Certain ones are very easy to see (space invader, warpaint etc) but others are just slight variations. I'm really lost on some of the zoas and euphilia. Is there a picture guide somewhere with names of all the different variations to reference?

Trade names of color varieties of coral species are not "standard" or official in any way. They are named by the seller and have no real bearing on the value.

If you want a good idea of zoa names, go to a zoa vendor's site and you may be able to find some common names.
