This might be an easy freebie, so I'm posting in the Beta forum, rather than the wish-list. If it's silly or if it would require any significant effort, just move this thread and/or tell me to shut up.
Add a switch to wireframe mode such that all the non-fishy wildlife has labels.
In other words, put the common and latin names beside each coral, shell, and other significant object - a "map key" or group-photo key for those of us who don't have marine biology degrees, or a real marine aquarium at home.
The names would not even need to be attached to the chorals, once they are made .... um.... pliable/wavy. It's not like they'll ever uproot and move around the tank, so the text labels could be fixed - for least-effort implementation.
Alternatively, if you can find a letter that's not already used, perhaps in the normal view, a hot-key press could bring up an overlay of text to name the various thingies for 30 seconds or so before fading away.
Obviously, very low priority, but if it's a simple addition, why not? It's a new and fabulous tank, and people would enjoy knowing what they're looking at.
