As for inverts, I don't usually name them, but my male clownfish is named Shapail, and after two and a half years, my yellow clown goby finally has a name—Tails! If you can guess the reference, kudos and a cookie to you! ;)

I don't, but my wife does, and I don't even know all the names. I do know the yellow clown goby is lemon drop and the aiptasia eating filefish are pony boy.

Purple tang is named purple. Naso tang is named Naso etc. I stopped naming fish because the fish with names always seemed to be the first to die.
The last fish I named was a female Blue throat trigger. We named her Liza . Yep she's gone :crying-face:

I don't, but my 3 year old niece does. This results in names like cloud, sneaker, socks! I did however name my cleaner shrimp, his name is Jacque!
