Cornbred and JasonFox are know for rebranding corals and taking some pictures that really pop. Especially cornbred his pictures are either enhanced or taken under actinics.
Like others have backed me up on. Its all the same setosa.
I dunno if it's fair to put Jason Fox in the same pot as Cornbred (Richard Negret).... Although Jason does take some very enhanced photos, I can testify that his corals do look just as amazing in person. Not to mention the fact that Jason actually uses photos that are of the actual colony or frag. As far as rebranding goes.... Well we can apply the renaming of the same species or coral to almost any vendor or hobbyist out there. The important thing is that when that coral is named by a vendor or hobbyist then the future named frags should keep coming from the same named colony as before. This kind of info can be confusing to newcomers but they will learn in time that names don't identify the coral.... They simply keep the lineage behind that coral as long as the vendor or hobbyist is fair and honest and doesn't start naming another coral the same name....
Ok, well hope I didn't make things more confusing for people lol
[/quote]I said they both take eye popping pictures but I said Cornbred especially likes to take enhanced pictures.
As for the rebranding. Its a gimick for exactly the reason Benz thought it the orange sherbet setosa was different than the Tyree setosa. Which actually I have seen a couple wild setosa come in over the years and they all seem the same.
One thing we can for sure agree on is the naming of corals does get confusing. Never buy a coral because of the name. Names are a fun identifier but that is about it.

All great points Darryl. They are likely 100% identical.... The difference in the names means that the Tyree Setosa should have come from Steve Tyree somehow.... Meanwhile the JF Orange Sherbert Setosa comes from Jason Fox.... It would be misleading IMO for JFox to name a coral he cultured as Tyree Setosa when it never actually came from Steve Tyree's colony... Therefore he names it something else.... Are they the same? Yes! But they do not have the same culturing lineage....
Not to point any fingers but I see some naming corals locally as "Tyree" when I question if they actually do have any lineage back to Steve Tyree...
Take this into consideration also.... I have the Wet Thumb's (WT) Mother of Pearl (MOP) and so does Steve Tyree.... My frag never actually came from Tyree's colony.... So I will continue to only call it WT MOP meanwhile others may call it Tyree MOP if it came from Steve Tyree. However, even Tyree's piece originally came from WT just like all the MOP should have....
Haha confused yet? Don't be! The name is for lineage only....
