What is the oddball of your reef?

[Chuja's reef]

For me it's my sharknose goby, he likes to roam around my mushroom garden, hiding under them and resting on them.

My Jawfish it has a great attitude and always hungry like a Labrador

 

[Han]

Angry reef lobster who feels the need to kill anything that lives, whether animal, macroalgae, or my hand.

 

[Tired]

Micro decorator crab from ReefCleaners. Carapace about the size of a dime. Currently wearing cyano all over itself because I had a cyano surge (high organics from an old filter in my RODI unit) and the snails can't climb the crab to clean it off. It snipped and wore some zoas once, but evidently wasn't impressed, as it hasn't done that since. Great to watch, and actually safe for the other things in the tank, since it's little and largely an herbivore. I've seen my trimma goby sit on it without problems.

My Niger trigger, currently I have 5 different triggers and in the 35+ years I've been at this ive had many different types of triggers. But this niger is out of control when it comes to feeding time. All triggers spit water out of the water especially if I'm holding the food cup but this Niger is out of control when it comes to spitting water. I lay down a towel on the floor before I start the process. I turn off the powerheads and that gets him started, then I slide a piece of the glass top to the side to feed them, before I even have time to grab the food he's already probably spit out a gallon. Then as the food is consumed he's back at it again until I feed the rest of it and slide the glass back in place, guys a total freak when it comes to spitting water.

My lawnmower blenny is my oddball. He sits on all my corals, poops only in my zoa garden and watches my every move... and likes to bite me.

 

[Chessmanmark]

Yellow Assessor.

It hides in a cave in the back of the tank for about 23 1/2 hours a day, then swims out in the open in the morning when the lights are out and all the other fish are dormant.

 

[Bars]

My mccosker flasher wrasse.

He loves checking out what I'm doing in and around the tank. I have accidentally hit him more than a few times because he likes to hug my hand. He usually get's extremely offended for a minute after I hit him, looking all angry at me and then goes right back to following me around everywhere.

Same. My Dusky Jawfish is a menace to society

I’d pay to see a video of that

My oddball is something I've honestly never seen in another tank, and that's my Hog Choker sole. He's about 4-5" and is out and about all day, sometimes even suctioned to the front glass of the aquarium! I'll see if I can get pictures later today or tomorrow.

I will try and remember tonight. No charge

 

[terraincognita]

Golden Angel.

He's the loner of the tank. always hiding, and being suspicious.

 

[Aero]

Lawnmower blenny for sure, they are the funniest very creative fish to watch

I've collected some of these, but I've never thought about them in a reef. Seem like a menace to fish society.

He's been a model citizen thus far, hasn't been aggressive or anything. I guess only time will tell though xD
