reef terminology vs what others think.

Try mentioning your "Cyano outbreak". People quickly take a step back, 'cuz they don't want to catch it: whatever it is!

Never say you have a Goniopora. You'd be surprized at how quickly people run when they think you have an STD

See what reaction you get when you say this to your friends and family:

"There's something wrong with my brain. It's not opening up."

If you're a female; don't mention your gaping clam mantle.

Yeah, I had a fabulous conversation about my growing clam with the guy at the LFS the other day

A bit off topic, however, my husband use to be a professional photographer and one day I went out into the reception area to bring in his next client. I happily announced to her with a big smile “You can come in now, my husband is ready to shoot you.” Her mouth dropped open, she started to panic and made a mad dash to get out the door!

I was in shock with how she reacted. I know many people don’t like getting their pictures taken but thought this reaction was quite over the top! I suddenly realized how she took what I had said to her and started to panic myself because I realized I had scared the living daylights out of this poor woman out! Needless to say I was able to stop her and explain what I REALLY meant!

After catching her breath, calming down and much laughter the three of us had over what I said, the photo “shoot” turned out to be a great success.

I had a "my brains turned to brown goo" conversation with my husband on the phone once, it was hilarious he had forgotten I had picked up an open brain coral from big als the week before .
My husband also tells all his truck driver friends that he brings me home crabs

Marie, that's almost as bad as red bugs on your pocillopora!

Oh, and Myka. Don't mention that you've been breeding Bangers, or all the girls at the office will want to get in on it.
