It's a flagtail not flagfin

[TamiW]

Hi everyone. This is a post about a minor issue, but its been driving me BONKERS ever since I started noticing it on forums. The pipefish of the genus Dunckerocampus and Doryrhamphus (Blue Stripe, janss, banded, etc. . .) are flagtail pipefish. There is no such thing as a flagfin pipefish. There is a flagfin angel, but no flagfin pipefish.

That is all.

Lol. I've probably made that mistake before even though I know better. Just like I called my bluestripe pipefish "bluelines" on here awhile back. I don't know why.

I get the pet peeve thing, though. I hate seeing the word "angle" when people mean "angel."

Yeah, like "my clown is hosting my anemone".

Or just nemos. As in "I have two nemos". :mad2:

Guilty.

Of the pipefish issue, not the Nemo issue!
