Yup, I do. A pair of Tomato Clowns that were a pain in the butt, haha. They would fan out the sand in the corner and sleep on the glass bottom.

However, I do recall that they spawned in my tank.

H erectus Seahorses. Had them for a long time raised babies on BBS that was about 15 years ago. only one survived to be about 3" then faded and died but this was when you had to read books still..LOL

Damsels, back in the day when you were supposed to cycle your tank with them for months before getting "real fish".

Jeweled damsel to seed a tank that lived. Became the BOSS in a predator tank!

Same as Big Dog…
A Jeweled damsel that lived through a tank cycle.
It became the meanest fish I have ever owned.
