This name is appropriate because it both represents the passage of time by referencing a monumental scientific event, and also reminds us that the Apalachicola Redhorse was still a species before description just as the moon existed before mankind set foot upon it or first recognized it in the sky.

Quite proud of the name: Etymology. A neuter adjective from the Latin ante for before, and luna for moon. This name is a reference to Bob recognizing this species one year prior to the moon landing in 1969.

A species nearly 60 years in the making. I was truly standing on the shoulders of giants for this one - both Bob Jenkins and Jon Armbruster.

Channeling a very just stay alive and fight for 2025.
