What fish are you so glad you bought?!

Hey everyone, I'm a relatively new person to the hobby, my reef tank has been up and running for 4 months now, just curious what all of your favorite fish purchases were!? I am so glad to see my purple tang and my hoeven's wrasse every time I look at my tank! (Even though my wrasse ate my peppermint shrimp lol, at least he got a fancy meal and the shrimp hid all the time anyways!)

Right at this moment, my rabbit fish. I had the start again of hair algae in my new tank and after QT he has devoured it.

My Starry Blenny has a great personality, never shy and eats like a pig. My Onyx Clownfish is always the first to greet and is always following me around the tank. So much fun to watch him swim!

I recently lost my naso I had him for 2.5 years one day he just died. I'll be getting another real soon.

My chainlink eel, first live purchase after setting back up. My wrasses come in right behind though.

for me it's not so much being excited about one specific purchase, rather being super bummed when a fish doesn't work out. Recently lost one of our mated reef catfish because she couldn't find a place to lay her eggs. Also have given up on the idea of a manderin. Too many losses to warrant taking another from the ocean.

Realizing when to buy responsibly or more importantly when not to buy and taking the time to research prior to purchase is the best quality to have in keeping or caring for any animal imo.
