species within the genus Cephalopholis

[PhishMonger84]

What species within this genus have you tried, which have you liked the most, which fall into never again!

my favorites in descending order are:
polleni
miniata
urodeta
argus
leopardus
formosa

i briefly kept a miniata but it 86'd itself. I've only seen photos of the others.

Urodeta & leopardus seem like great smaller options.
argus i think is very good looking, formosa less so

Never seen photos of a polleni anywhere near the max size.

so, what have you kept, coveted or avoided?

I'm currently running a 90 this is not the final home of any of these fish, but I have a reef ready 180 and 125 that just need some freshwater fish rehomed and salt added. So, let's stay away from the tank size flaming.

I like my marine betta (Calloplesiops altivelis). Loosely-related.
