Its interesting to see many mis-spelled reefkeeping terminology so lets correct them by stating them here :P:P

So far I've seen:

"Power" blue tang should be powder blue tang (due to its powder blue colour)

"Crownfish" should be clownfish (due to its wierd swimming pattern)

"Cynaria" should be cynarina (due to its scientific name)

"Metal highlight" should be metal halide (due to it containing a halide)

Pls share some more so as to correct these mistakes :lol:
