The shrimp and hermits and snails remain nameless as of now. Though she will run to the tank and point at the crabs yelling crab, crab, crab so maybe thats their names.

[nemo_66]

[mkroher]

no specific names yet.. we just call them either "pigs" or "hogs"

 

[sjk2840]

I've only named a few of mine so far-actually my family has named them:
male clownfish-Nemo
female clownfish- Nemette
spotted boxfish-Gomer, he just kinda hangs out, like he's got nothin' to do
humu humu-Piglet, he eats like one
royal grama-Grandma Fish

 

[tinderly]

My husband and I name all of our fish and inverts. When we first started out even the crabs and snails had names, but now there are just too many of them and no way to tell them apart (especially when they start shell hopping). But still, the starfish have names, the big snail, the cucumber, the clam....lol...everyone gets named by the time we get home with them.

 

[cranberry]

My husband calls them by their scientific names..... that's what I get for marrying an engineer.
