Fool Me Twice LFS: Clown Tang?

Thats a 4-line

 

You got to love common names.

 

Nope, hate em and I try not to use them. I feel we dumb done the hobby by usig common names (or uncommon in this case). One fish can have 20 common names in use around the planet. If you called it by it's latin, we'd all know exactly what it is.

If one counts ALL the lines on a six-line, you get approx 14 You only count the bold markings typically, thats why it's the 4-line and six-line. pg 313 Marine Fishes (scott Michael), pg 47 Fairy & Rainbow Wrasses and Their Relatives (Rudie H Kuiter), pg 842 Marine Atlas #1 (Baensch & Debelius), even http://fishbase.org/Summary/Species...e=Pseudocheilinus&speciesname=tetrataenia shows it as only a 4-line. If 12 line was even used, it would be listed along with 4 line (they'll list multiple common names). I have never ruin into any book that mentions it's use.

 

Its just what the LFS and Pet solutions called it. I think it was a TFH article that pointed out that you can call anything by any common name. You could call a peppermint shrimp the "false Sperm Whale" if you could get a way with it. I like the Latin names too. I only wish they would quit rewriting most of them every 10 years. The emerald crab, doesn't work because you can some times get them in red. Okay so its a Mithrax crab, no that is invalid now. So what the heck is it.
Or back when I was into African cichlids. I was trying to get Cyphotalapia gibberosa. The newly described and split off species from C. Frontosa. My info was current but no one was using the new specie let. They were just called Blue Frontosas or named a collection site. So neither system is perfect but what do you think of the fish for my tank?
