Aiptasia conundrum
Okay, I give up. How do you pronounce aiptasia? Yes, yes, I know: pita. No, seriously. What's the correct pronunciation?

I'm a little thrown off by that as well, I was thinking for the longest time it was pronounced... "app-tay-jah" but then one day I noticed the "i" between the "a" and "p", that made me think maybe it's pronounced "ape-tay-jah". Or maybe it's pronounced "op-tay-jah"
But maybe you say "tow-maw-toe" and I say "toe-may-toe" and it doesn't matter.

I have always pronounced it as ap-tasia (last part sounds like Asia with a "t" in front of it)..
