Interestingly, the discoverer of this flower - Professor Charles Messing from Nova Southeastern University's Oceanography Center (USA) - entered eBay for a auction of naming rights.
As a practice in the scientific world, experts in specific fields have the honor of naming a new species when it is discovered. In fact Professor Charles Messing used his name for a species of crab, small shrimp and deep sea. This time he decided to auction the naming of sea flowers to collect money to help biodiversity research in the world and to study biology at the Oceanography Center.
Page Sci-News said almost every year scientists at this Oceanographic Center also discovered new marine species.
Typically, the naming rights of creatures such as beetles, butterflies or orchids cost between 3,000 and 5,000 USD. Sci-News quoted Professor Charles Messing as saying that the starting price for naming this flower is $ 4,000 but he believes it will be more. The last name of this new sea flower will be published in a scientific journal as part of the permanent record of biodiversity.
