If you recall, back in 2024, Ze Frank was invited to be on the board of the Senkenberg Ocean Species Alliance (SOSA). He promptly visited them in Germany and made a video roasting the organization. Now, this is the institute that is charged with studying and naming new species of mollusks as they are discovered. What could Ze Frank offer this organization? Publicity, of course. They soon returned the favor by naming a type of chiton after him, Craspedochiton zefranki.
What next? How about crowdsourcing a species name? SOSA and Ze are now inviting fans to suggest a scientific name for a new species of Craspedochiton. That doesn't mean you necessarily have to be fans of SOSA or Ze Frank. You might just like mollusks. Or maybe you are just good at coming up with names. Anyway, you can submit one in the comments at this video's YouTube page, but it must only be one word, Latin or not, with an explanation, so molluskmcmolluskface won't cut it.
