So I went to my City fish store because on their website they had some cool designer Zoanthids and I asked an Asian gentleman who was working there "Do the Kamikaze Zoa's grow as quick as regular Zoa's" and he was like "What.?" I kinda realized instantly that he had no idea what a Kamikaze Zoanthid was. So I quickly like half turned towards the fish/coral tanks pointed and awkwardly looked back. I guess he realized I wasn't being racist and directed me to another staff member but it felt like an eternity of awkwardness.
