Aquarium fish market adventures!

[1epauletteshark]

I am making this thread to show off some of the amazing, rare and beautiful critters my local aquarium fish market has as I visit at least once ever week and see some pretty crazy things. Here are a couple cool fish I saw today.

Small Parapegasus natans

Small blue ring octopus


Hope you find this thread interesting and I will also be asking for help with ID’s for fish I don’t know.

What I saw

Some cool little guys

very cool ?snowflake? eel

Looking for ID’s

Colored filefish?

Some type of wrasse? I know it’s hard to tell from the images

Really cool “box fish” any ideas?

cool puffer

What is this little guy? Looks like a baby moray?

Nothing to crazy today as the crazy tank hasn’t been restocked yet and a lot less baby copper banded butterfly fish. Still so many cool critters!

Almost forgot, any ideas what species these tiny box fish are?

It’s especially hard with a blue light photo

little friend still there

The filefish is a red tailed filefish, or orange tailed, hard to say. The boxfish is a blue boxfish. The long fish isnt an eel, its a zebra pipefish

There were quite a few cool ones, next time I'll makes sure to take photos of all of them and tag you

 

[1epauletteshark]

I went back again today but I forgot to take photos of the starfish I’ll try not to forget next time

Some cool little seahorses

Some little peppermint shrimp, I ended up getting the smallest one as there was a few tiny aptasia on my first little coral (GSP)

Can someone please ID these two shrimp? I would have bought them and asked questions later because they are so beautiful but they were already sold.
