How Do You Pronounce Crocea?

[a.p.17]

I HAVE BEEN TO FOUR DIFFERENT LFS IN MY AREA AND ALL OF THEM PRONOUNCE THIS DIFFERENT. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS A CORRECT PRONUNCIATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

[Mako]

I have always pronounced it as {crow-shay-ah}

[grunstad]

And I say crow-say-ya:dance:

[Jimbo327]

Well, this is how I pronounce it.

Crow-See-Ahh.

Jimmy

I hope this is correct as I've been saying it for awhile now. :D

[reefer240]

I hope Jimbo is correct, that's the way I've been saying it too...lol.

We need a dictionary for marine aquaria with phonetic spellings! LOL. Hey, book idea!

Let me third that motion:)

[epon]

I say it (crow-say-uh) , but I've heard it pronounced (crow-chea-uh).

[firechild]

I have always pronounced it cro-che-a but I believe the propper pronunciation is cro-kay-a.

Jimbo, you are very close with Crow-Say-Uh, but the true way to pronounce it is Muh-nee-E-ter.

Ya made me fall out of my chair ..... :D

Just don't call it a crotch clam and you will be OK. Yes, I have heard this before but I also heard someone talking about an anemone waving its testicles- working at a LFS can be lots of fun:D

I have heard crow-she-ah, crow-che-ah, & crow-si-ah


The last one really didnt make much sense but I think the gent had an speach inpediment.


Mostly I here crow-che-ah though,,,but I like PR's take on it the best:D

That's how I pronounce it too. But after 4 years of Latin what do I know? If I followed my Latin classes I would pronounce sebae as "SAY bye" and not "SEE bay".
