"Same scientific class" is kinda vague. Do you mean species, genus, family, or what? Unless you mean the actual biological term Class, in which case you're wrong because all the reef fish would be members of the same class, Osteichthyes (the bony fishes).

To be more precise, den, dey get different genus and family but dey all fishies but da kanaka maoli neva know da difference so dey wen call all of these buggahs by the same first name! Sometimes people keep them in fishtanks.

What fish is known by a different name when it is smaller than when it is big (over 10 lb usually)? In other parts of the country it has a man's name. There are numerous clubs in Hawai'i that fish for them.
