We name ours after the characters on the show called The Office. We have Toby our bumblebee goby...get it, toby the goby, and hes always exiled to the annex in the show, our goby has a little burrowed out home like that haha. We have Oscar our possum wrasse. Our large very weird looking conch is named Dwight...well if you know the show, for obvious reasons. Haven't named our others yet, I am sure we will eventually.

I love this thread. Some of these names are great. I don't necessarily name my fish per say, but I do often refer to them by specific things. Like for some reason the Candy Basslets are Big Candy Basslito and Little Candy Basslito. Not sure where that came from. Otherwise I usually call them by what they are, but names are fun so maybe I'll figure some out.

Toby - Powder Blue Tang
Alvin - Sailfin Tang
Dusty - Scopas Tang
Fannie - Pink Tailed Trigger
Willie - Blue Sided Wrasse (he was One Eyed Willie from the Goonies because he was blind in one eye, but we had to change it when he got his eyesight back)
Scotty - Scott's Fairy Wrasse
Francis - Red Velvet Fairy
Fred and Ethel - True Percs
Sparky - Long Nosed Hawkfish
Waldo - Target Dragonette (He was so little when we bought him we were always going where's the baby, it turned into Where's Waldo)
Dookie - Coral Beauty - self explanatory
Neptune - Red Sea Star
Spot - Valentini Puffer - He acts like a dog.
I have named one crab - Blackie Chan - He has black striped legs. This crab has been with me since I started this hobby, and has pulled off unbelievable feats, like Jackie Chan...lol I'm not sure he is supposed to be in a reef, but he has never harmed a thing.

Hi I'm Joe, yes I'm a Reef-a-holic we have names for just about all 55 of our fish. Our Purple Tang we've had him for 12 years, named him "Culpepper" after Daunte Culpepper when he played for Minnesota Vikings way back in 2001
