Often see "gorilla nipple" zoas for sale locally. The person that named them must've had way too much time on their hands... lol

once everything is OG ultra gold rainbow metallic DC pumpkin juice, I will bet money that there will eventually be something called "OG Organic grass fed non gmo cage free quadruple splice gold daniels SP rasta zoa"

But I've always wondered why its called a foxface lo and not a lo foxface. Why isn't a onespot just called a onespot foxface lo then? I'm no scientist but the species categorization of those two seems fishy

Foxface (Siganus vulpinus). "vulpinus" means "fox-like". Supposedly this alluded to the pointed snout but they never explained this. It's also probably easier to just say "foxface" than "black-face rabbitfish".
