    Crap. Ah well, I was close(?).
    I should have remembered not to capitalize the species.

    Actually, "gymno" is Greek and then Latin for "naked," hence "gymnasium," "Gymnopedie," etc. "Gymnodinium" references this and adds in "-dein" meaning to whirl. edit I also read that it's now called Karenia brevis :D

    "Gymnotide" is more of a reference to "Gymnotidae," the plural form of "gymnotid," the family from which "naked" back knifefish are found. Within this family is a variety of slender eel-like fish and Electrophorus electricus, the electic eel!

    Also, never capitalize the species :P
    Gymnodinium brevis, not Brevis D:

    Also, Brevis is a very cool name.

    Also, red tide is cool. Watched it on Nature once lol.

    ^ Character called Brevis with an attack called Red Tide which turns water red and drowns people with it. ktnx. Copyrighted.

    Aha! Your username!

    Gymnotide is, in fact, a reference to a red tide, which is an algal bloom of waterborne species of Kingdom Protista, phylum Pyrrophyta, which include Gymnodinium Brevis .

    Hence: Gymno = Gymnodinium, tide = red tide.

    Just realized, and thought I'd share. XP

    If it wasn't the "Xairmo" part that threw you off, then something must be wrong with you :D

    Wow... the whole Xairmo thing really threw me off. I was going to post something in that Slowbro/Slowking thread, and "Xairmosexual" completely wiped my mind blank. XD
