Hi dear,

Strongyl = round (Greek)
centro = the center, a point (Greek)
drobachiensis = After the city of Drobach, Norway

So "a round center thing of Drobach."

And if you don't know what it actually is (I think you do though), it's a greenish sea urchin.

yeah ^^ it came up in class today - you gotta admit that name's a doozy.

I know it's some form of marine life.

Ask nicosian if you like. She knows this stuff a lot better than I do.
