I got most of my favorites in this pic. I'm definitely a sucker for angels

they ever eat the sps? any shrimp in there?

They leave my SPS alone but the clarion has eaten both of my fire shrimp. For some reason he hasn't bothered my 2 cleaner shrimp...yet.

I am a huge fan of my Dwarf Flame Angel and my Neon Dottyback. Mainly because they are primarily orange and I am a sucker for anything orange. I will try to get a few good pictures tomorrow for you guys...

Lets see, the coolest fish I've ever seen is a tough one. At the moment, I'd probably have to say these guys:

I might just be building a system for the last one^

That's awesome man, if you could get a video, I'd love to see!

Sorry for the crappy video. Just did it on the fly...

I have some better footage from years ago in another tank (before the jump) with what appeared to be mating behavior complete with color change and "flashing" mating dance.

Apparently I posted it to Facebook and I was able to find it!

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Genicanthus personatus
Gramma dejongi
Rainfordia opercularis

Hands down, the rock blenny. They have so much personality.

Not my photo.

Cool, what is it?

it's a spotted filefish, IIRC they have pretty specific dietary requirements

 

[cincyfishguy]

I have a segmented sailfin blenny. Like others have said lots of personality.

 

[Reef_Tank_Fan_SC]

My neon dottyback.. Not the easiest fish to get a picture of because this sucker is fast but it's worth the struggle. He is absolutely beautiful and surprisingly gets along well in the tank so far.

 

[nbagnardi]

What are each of these called?

they're called $10k a pair lol

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Well, the Genicanthus are more like $15k each.
