I still think the best name I heard was Deb's name for her Naso tang - IIRC it was Nas hole. I'm not nearly that original
Naso tang - tank - about 12" long
Yellow tang - SOB - no explaination needed
Goldflake angel - MR. Attitude
Conspic angel - Picky
Moorish Idol - Elvis

None of my other fish really have names.

My nephew calls my yellow tang "lellow" (acompanied by much glee and hand clapping each time it swims into view). The only other fish that I have a name for in my tomato clown. She is refered to as "grumpy" or sometimes "Old B****y".

My wife (mostly) named our critters.

Clowns - Brooke and Antoine
Firefish - Lenny
Emerald crab - Oscar
Sexy shrimp - Waldo ('cause he was hard to find - so small)
YWG - Muddy (mudskipper) - until we think of something better

Rikko 08-10-2006 10:09 PM

Regal tang: Pootie Tang
Scopas tang: Tootie Tang (the species basically looks like what a fart probably looks like....)
Yellow tang: Zootie Tang (Zooty zoot zoot? ...anyone?)
Clowns: Duck and Weave
Bicolor Blenny: Benny
YWG: Cliff (Norm, his pistol buddy, has been MIA for months now)
Mandarins: Skippy and Trixy (Skippy has also been MIA :( )
Peacock mantis: Manticore

I've held off at naming my cleaner shrimps, as it's usually just an expletive when they're bothering all the corals while I'm trying to feed them.

Purple Tang = Herbert
Yellow Tang = Abraham (from previous owner)
Powder Blue = Mean ole' Bastard
Coral Beauty = Priscilla
Mandarin = Hummer
Convict Blennie = Digger

I think that's it for now... :mrgreen:
