Coolest fish you've kept or seen

Starry Blennie. He keeps a close eye on everything, he is the first one to greet and he loves laying on his leather toadstool!

I've always liked the Long Nose Hawkfish.....I think it looks like a fish you'd see in a Dr. Seuss book.

I have a bonded pair in my 120G reef. Great little fish.

Actually got a pic of mine.

What fish is this? Kinda looks like an Blenny but those colors are throwing me off.

Beautiful fish! Not too many kept long term in captivity. Well done!

Wish I could say the same. I can never make them work. Have tried a couple and every time they make it to display tank I never see them again after the first or second day.

I loved my Scribbled Angel and my Lyretail Hogfish was a close second.

Quoy's parrotfish, Scarus quoyi.

All reports indicate completely reef-safe, but _not_ acrylic-tank safe! Also ... stinkin' gorgeous.

~Bruce, kind of obsessing over this fish . . .

My favorite fish which I plan on getting again once my tank is mature was a possum wrasse. They have some seriously cute personalities aND go through the rocks eating critters. Loved mine. He was never in a tank smaller than a 55 gallon and I had lots of live and seeded dry rock and at one point had a fuge.

I couldn't pick 1 so I have a tie. Both are my dragnets. My Spotted Mandarin is always the first one to meet me at the glass and my mated pair of green mandarins are always big love birds. Love em both
