folks usually send Mr.Tyree frags of corals they think could be nice and than Tyree evaluates them over time to see how they do in captivity, do they hold their colors? Do they grow? things like that and if he likes the coral enough he will make it a LE coral on his website. Same goes for Jason Fox, he has built this reputation up to the point where his name has become a brand name, it's all marketing and exposure.
Essentially, if you come across a new coral that nobody else has seen and it is pretty special than you could market it and get it known, put your name on it and see if it takes off in popularity. Problem is most corals that come in are held by a select few people (ie. vendors) that get to cherry pick them, as for wholesalers etc. not all them care about LE or Tyree too much imo

Is PE the same thing? Ive heard people say " the coral is showing nice PE" What does that mean?
PE stands for people eater. It is a name for a certain type of paly.

No, PE stands for Polyp Extension.
Thanks kevin well put key is marketing yourself. The more people start to hear your name the more your corals become sought after. I guess mike polletta falls into that catagory also like jason fox makes sense now I thought pe were initials for someones name

see sometimes I make sense LOL!
PE could be Polyp extension or as Ben stated People Eater (type of palythoa/zoanthid)

Polyp Extension sounds like the reference I was thinking of. I knew about the people eaters but didnt know what people meant when they said a coral was showing great pe. Makes sense now! Thanks Josh

man i should have put Noob markers on all my zoa's, never understood the LE limited edition. thats for something produced and only so many made, sure the ocean has more then a few of everything, and personally i refuse to buy something that has jason fox or any other persons name branded to it for corals. same stuff without there name is a 1/4 the price, and who has a title with the corals that is supposed from any of them, atleast from Dr foster and smith you get a certificate with their corals
