Just curious, but what is the meaning, or where do the designations come from for different types of corals, such as Tubs, Tyree, ORA, LE, etc.?

The names like Tubs, Ora, Tyree, Atl are there to designate where they came from.

ORA= Oceans, Reef, Aquarium
LE= Limited Edition
Tyree= Steve Tyree
ATL=Atlantis

I think those are right..

ORA is Oceans, reefs, Aquariums. Here is the link... http://www.orafarm.com/
Tyree is Steve Tyree and he is reeffarmers... http://www.reeffarmers.com/reeffarmersmain.htm

Atl is Atlantis Aquarium and ...http://www.atlantisaquarium.net/beginner.html

According to zoaid, The Story Behind Tubs Blues Zoa: Quite possibly the first person to introduce Blue Zoas 'to the masses', these famous blues were named after the person introducing them: Tub.

That is all I can find about "Tub", but I will keep looking.
