Gotta know the Latin, too much to confuse and overlap with common names. Even on that quiz there were fish I called by names that aren't given on the quiz. Someone could "know" the fish by one name and get the question wrong because the name they call it isn't on their.
Sorry just my rant, it's been a long day at work
And FWIW I got 14 out of 15. I don't know the difference between a coronetfish and trumpetfish.
Stop being crabby Mike...JUST KIDDING!!! I got number 12 wrong because of common names....I looked at it and knew it was a trigger but it didn't look like any Picasso Trigger I've ever seen at the LFS so I guessed black trigger and got it wrong.

Here's the problem with common names
