Coolest fish in your tank!

Dwarf Golden Morey Eel. Is an eel a fish?

Mojo, my Naso!

I had the Bristletooth Tang at the beginning of the post. This is another one of my favorite fish. My Magnificent Foxface. He's a really laid back fish.

An eel is absolutely a fish (albeit a fairly specialized one!) - and yours is a cutie!

You can't deny the cuteness

Can't deny that! What kind is he/she?

 

[LB Dantzler]

I've got a pretty cool collection of fish - at least _I_ think so ... but one of the coolest recently entered my QT.

I got just one photo, in-the-bag, before I released him to hide in the PVC elbows and fittings - which is exactly what he's been doing for the last week and a half. In fact, that's _all_ he's been doing for the last week and a half.

Quoy's parrotfish, Scarus quoyi. Doesn't get ginormous, and from all I've read, reef-safe.

That's definitely on my list! That guy is incredible!

 

[LB Dantzler]

Couldn't pick just one!

Wow! What is the orange and white one? I've never seen one of those before?

It is a Yellow Polka DoT Boxfish

Black, Longnose Tang!

It will be difficult to compare mine with all the beautiful fishes in this thread, specially @Karin 's tang!! I give the "Coolest fish" in my tank award to my Cinnamon Clown. He is the saltiest (haha) in my DT, every time I stick my hand in to arrange something he tries to bite me!! I am always finding gravel on top of my rock, because he is always "cleaning" his spot. Even his mouth could look like the The Gateway Arch!!

Beautiful fish. Me and my gf snorkeled thru 100s of this last year when we drove down to Key west

Wo ah what is that

 

[Lionfish Lair]

It's a Choridactylus multibarbus, a stingfish.

Here he is moving around...

Is he reef safe? Invert safe?

Thanks!

This particular variety is Indo-Pacific, but there are plenty of parrotfish in the Caribbean and the Florida Keys as well. Some like the princess parrot (Scarus taeniopterus) and the striped parrotfish (S. iserti) don't get too big, and may be reef-safe in larger aquaria. Others, like the midnight, blue and rainbow parrotfish ... might be better off in public aquaria.

This fellow's been here for two and a half weeks, and I think I've seen him out of hiding for a total of about eight minutes. (>_<) (Most, from what I understand, are nowhere near that shy!)

Ya they were out and about when I was snorkeling. Wasn't shy at all in the wild
