Oddball show off

Fin-up reefing · Sep 10, 2019

I know there are quite a few oddballs out in the hobby, I'm just kinda curious on what's the weirdest or most interesting fish/ oddball you guys own!

Personally mine has to be my walking batfish. This little guy eats like a champ and is hanging out in my Red Sea nano Max. I'm aware they can reach up to 9" but he's just hanging out in this tank until I'm sure he's big enough to thrive in my 210 G reef.

What do you feed him?
I had a sea robin once upon a time, I think that may qualify as odd ball

I’m not that bold. I was told that most cucumbers will nuke the tank if they die but the research I did for a pink warty sea cucumber should not mess with it to much.

I guess this could be considered oddball, as many are shocked and amazed that's its even a fish. He hops to my hand to get fed.

Where'd you get your walking batfish?

He eats Frozen mysis and gut loaded ghost shrimp as a treat

It took me 4 minutes of staring at the picture to notice it was a rhino fish

I actually work at a pet store, I've worked there since my sophomore year of high school. Since I don't start college until spring they made me manager and I saw it on the order list so I ordered him in and got him to eat the first day he came in. I took him home the next day!
