Actually I do strive to learn every scientific name of corals, inverts and fish. It's my business to do so. The problem with common names is that more often than not there exists several for each species. Some more common, some less.
True "Hepa" would be the proper slang name if there is such a thing but that just supports my point. More names= more confusion.
I don't expect that everyone would know every scientific name but in my view it isn't a stretch to know all of the fish you keep.
I would never presume to be smarter than anyone...I and I hope no offence is taken.
