Correct. The term generally applies to an aquarium in which the bottom or side is drilled to accommodate plumbing connections.

"Limited Edition"... meaning a coral with a flashy name that commands a premium price. Later, once more people have it, it'll come down in price but keep the flashy name. Most people use LE to describe any "named" coral where the lineage can be traced back to the original colony, no matter if it is truly "limited" or not.

Can of worms really.

But some of the big names you'll here are Jason Fox, and Steve Tyree.

Some of the stores/ Big etailers will also name corals and call them LE. Some of those stores are World Wide Corals in Orlando, and Cherry Corals.
