Reef tank perks in the gulf.

[florida joe]

If you live on the gulf coast of Florida and you walk the beach you never know what you may find to add to your tank. This afternoon I found this pen shell covered with the remains of other gastropods, bivalves and univalves. It will make a nice FREE addition to my tank.

No Lois what you see is the remains of their skeletons

Because during their developement from juvenile to adult, they get markings on their tail that look like Arabic writing/script.

No actually it is a rather sex crazy fish and when is sees a female it grunts out humma humma,nice fins. Hence the name

 

[mr. limpid]

That's a good one, right after I hit submit i thought Joe's is going to come back with actual explanation of how it got its name. This was better.

In college a Humma had a completely different meaning.

as in your tang police picture, just saying

 

[florida joe]

Hawaiian Name:
Hu-mu hu-mu nu-ku nu-ku a pu-a-'a.
Both the Rhinecantus aculeatus and rectangulus bear this famous long Hawaiian name. Roughly translated this name means "fish with a pig-nosed face". In short, this and most all other Triggerfishes worldwide are referred to commonly as Humu-Humu's, and sometimes incorrectly as Huma-Huma's, but these names do not actually identify an individual species one may have.
