Let me guess....
This fish infiltrates another fish’s nest via disguise, and then proceeds to kill or kick out the inhabitants while inviting in other predators in at the same time.

Whoa! Hold up! Name already taken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_(genus)
Its a genus of flatworms. From American Scientist, Sept- Oct 2016, page 293: The largest South American land flatworm, Obama eudoximariae from the Rio de Janerio forest in Brazil can reach lengths of 29 centimeters,,, It is coincidence that the flatworm has the same name as the current President of the United States. Obama means “leaf animal” in the extinct Tupi language of Brazil....”

Larry Sinclair thinks they should have renamed the blowfish for him.

Not the first fish either -- they already named a darter after Obama. And since I really like darters, this was offensive.
Now, they also named a fungus after Obama (this is NOT a joke), this was appropriate.
Fungal Obama

Obama was Pacific Slimehead but they renamed him
for the campaign as Orange Roughy and a lot of
gullible folks ate it.

One of these would have been more appropriately named after him.
