Also a cute little dottyback that I think is a strawberry dottyback.

Quite a big chocolate chip and another starfish of some kind.

I’ll be back again tomorrow because the store that gets the cool fish and small fish (like the sea moth, blue stripe pipefish, small flying gurnards, purple fire fish etc.) so I’ll make sure that I do another update then.

That is a toadfish of the genus Opsanus I believe.

Thanks! The firefish is just behind the last pipefish in the acclimation box :)
 
I got there and not everything had been unpacked so here are a few photos of fish already there.

Not too much to see today but here are a few of the cool guys.

Cute little bicolor blennies :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
9C2B73EE-9E03-4666-AF21-AB12A31EB1FC.jpeg
I thought this guy was a different environmental variation or something but I think he was just stressed.
I ended up with the smallest of the three bicolor blennies for my aquarium and I love it.

Still stumped on what this guy is
 
C69EB367-4C71-4829-99DF-9A94C2C41681.jpeg
Not too sure about this guy
Looks like an Epinephelus sp. (a grouper) to me - the ones I know with similar patterns are E. quoyanus, E. faveatus, E. merra, and E. macrospilos.

I'm not sure on this guy - the closest I know at the moment is Ogilbyina novaehollandiae, the multicolor dottyback.

Ah yep, gotta be one of those

It doesn't look to much like a dottyback to be but I don't know, a better photo would have helped.
 
This is awesome! Wish I had something like this close to me.
 
wow, amazing fish. I'd be broke buying a lot of those fish if they were close to me, I'd probably do a 200 gallon tank upgrade just to house them lol
Can't wait to see more
The best thing is, you wouldn’t be broke! Small fish here range from 1-5$ like I got my lawnmower for 1$ and my possum wrasse RIP for 5$
 
A754DA04-40D6-493C-AF9F-BA8AE48209ED.jpeg
There is another one now, I have done some investigation into what it could be and the closest thing I could get to was a razor fish of some sort.

Cool red Diana hogfish

Beautiful anampses
FC2AC452-7B64-4A72-8380-C5836860CEB7.jpeg
Wow I didn’t realize how blue that was, but here is a big grey unicornfish.
 
Looks like it may be the Fivefinger Razorfish - Iniistius pentadactylus.
Based on the pattern having so many spots in addition that honeycomb-esque pattern on the face, this one is most likely Cirripectes stigmaticus - the Ember blenny (though those streaks look a lot less red and lot more brown like you'd find on Cirripectes imitator - the Imitator Blenny - in the pic). The link below has a pic of one that looks very similar.

Thank you as always!
