What Is Your Centerpiece Fish?

[LMDAVE]

My would have to be my Powder Blue, it’s the one fish I knew I wanted the most

Can I have 2 centerpieces, please?

Mine would have to be my 3 flame wrasses. Started out as a pair. I lost the male, found another pair. Original female became super male, second male is a sub Male and female. All 3 are always together. They look fantastic. But my vlamingi is my dude. Lol. Eats from my hand always wants a side rub and watches us more than we watch him lol.

I miss my vlamingi! I could pet mine and he was unstoppable I could hand feed full sheets of seaweed he was the definition of a “bottomless pit” . I eventually donated him to one our private aquariums here in Dallas he had to have been 18” with his streamers by that time. Your Flames are BA!

These 2 you don't see that often, a black volitan and a flagfin angel. The flagfin draws alot of oohs and aaws because of the blue lips and the volitan is very intimidating, he's about 14" with a 14" wingspan and his spikes are about 6".

Thanks, I just got lucky with this guy, he eats everything.
Here is he recently, as fat as a pig, my wife is afraid he will explode.

They aren’t really expensive people just don’t import them often lol. I want one but I would have to be willing to have no polyp extension. Where did you get him?

Gotta be the Powder Blue because he chases anyone else away from the front center of the tank!

I got it from a LFS/distributor here in Hong Kong 5 months ago.
Paid about $6 for it, it was less than 1" tiny, now close to 2".

You’re lucky and $6 ;Dead ! In the US you can get them for about $25-39. The biggest problem is getting them imported here like I said, it’s a “expert only“ very low success rate fish suppliers don’t order them here in Dallas TX .

Live aquaria would be only place I would dare try! Service reef tanks fo a living I have local suppliers I would spend the extra money with LA lol!

For me it’s my Goldflake Angel

 

[ysper20]

Man, I LOVE Goldflake Angels and copperbands - your fish is gorgeous IMO. I sometimes wish I didn't have such a happy coral tank. I'm afraid to put Angels in due to the horror stories I've heard about Angels trashing corals. We all have to make choices I guess. Right now, my corals are thriving and for some reason people keep giving me frags that just explode with growth. No idea why they are doing so well. Sometimes luck is better than skill I guess. I'll ride the train until it either crashes or I just get tired of the limits on the fish I can have.

Based on most visitors it would be this tang. Still not sure what it is as I’ve been told he isn’t a mimic but I’ve had him for a couple years.

Looks like a mimic to me.
