I say "say-oh", too....with the emphasis on the "say".
"Tunze" is a German brand, so to be precise, you should follow German pronunciation...which is a bit difficult to explain. lol. The "tun" part should make the same sound the "oo" makes in "wood". The "z" should be pronounced like the "zz" in "pizza" (almost a t/z sound). The "e" should sound like "uh". Sheeesh. Anyone confused yet?! I always said ap-tay-sia ("sia" sounds like....the end of fantasia). Anyone say "ape-tay-sia"? The one that gets me (and that I've heard others fumble over, too) is acanthastrea. Is it a hard "a" at the beginning, like acorn? Or a soft "a" like apple?

Haha I used to call them ape-tay-sia until I was corrected by EmilyB who promptly made fun of me after hearing me say it
 As for Tunze. I used to call it toonz but then after hearing other people call it tonne-zee I've switched. Quel faux pas!

Tunze - Tun-zee
Aiptasia - Ap-tay-jgia (jgia? sort of a hard long j. As someone said...like in Fantasia). How 'bout this one. Chaeto. I say kay-toe. I've heard it chee-toe. Bong! Beg to differ. Acclimatize. A-climb-a-ties. I've heard that one completely botched before to be almost unrecognizable. Good thing it was said twice, and I could confirm what I was hearing.
