2 Brutal Stars-Kip and Uncle Rico
1 Coral banded Shrimp-Deb (Nickname...Stupid A@#hole, or Idiot!)

These fish and inverts have nothing to do with my admiration of the movie Napoleon Dynamite. It is a mere coincidence.

Okay, guess I'm in the minority here. Will have to have the kids start naming the fish...omg that is gonna be like a war!!!
I, however, am going to name the cc star, as he is my baby. Oh and the hardly ever seen Brittle star....his name is Bristle, ask lefty 'bout that!!! OH YA...forgot, name the clown Lefty, after lefty...ask him bout that too!!! so, the cc star....Nestle. How is that? The arrow crab should be Spider Man...Spidy for short. Hmmmmmmmm. I am having a mental day.:jumping:

Just to make people question your sanity, name the cc something like Oatmeal, Rasin, or Macaroon. Or, go one step further and name it, Brownie, or Bundt Cake. I love bundt cake. :thinking:

How about you name it, "Low Fat Jell-O Pudding, artificial and natural flavors?" For short, you could call it, "LFJOPanf."
I used to breed French Lops and show them and they were all named after cookies. We had Oreo, Famous Amos, Cameo, Pecan Sandi, and Sugar, and oh so many more that I can't remember. It's amazing how many cookies there are in the world. You could say that they breed like rabbits.

i have a cleaner shrimp named Skippy. none of my hermits and snails are named except for the biggest hermit, and i call him, Boss. because he bosses all the other hermits around. one of my gigantic snails is his assistant. but i cant think of a name for my yellow tang or my pair of tomato clowns. any suggestions? im terrible at naming things. it took me 2 and a half weeks to figure out a name for my cat

Thinking way back to ten years ago when I set up my first saltwater tank and killed everything in it, here are the names of those fish (keep in mind, I was 15 at the time)
1 Yellow Tang-Chiquita (R.I.P)
1 Percula Clown-Bozo (R.I.P.)
1 Regal Tang-Dinsdale (R.I.P.)
a handful of stripelegged hermits from Galveston-B!-#ards!, but they weren't named until they pinched a hole straight through Chiquita. I will never forget when that happened because we called my dad to ask him if he had any ideas for fish rescue (he had freshwater tanks as a child) and his answer, "I don't know, dip it in saltwater." Then he laughed. I will also never forget the trauma of trying to flush Chiquita down the toilet and have him get stuck in the drain and see the water swirling around him, causing his fins to undulate, making him look alive again, and me reaching into the toilet to save him and stab myself on a spine and start bleeding.
Dinsdale was terrified of the B!-#ards and turned on his side and slid between two rocks and got stuck and died. Bozo mysteriously disappeared, but I've always kind of wondered if stripelegged hermit crabs aren't terrified of clowns? Anyway, once the fish were knocked off, the hermit crabs ate eachother and the tank was dismantled and turned into a snake habitat that is now in my husband's classroom.
Talk about longwinded! This is what happens when your job doesn't challenge you enough!:joy:
