My ultimate goal in reefing is to own another Tanaka Possum wrasse. I had one for about three years before losing him during a tank transfer when I moved. Recently, I acquired a 2-inch Radiant Wrasse, which I believe is the “holy grail” fish I currently possess. How about you guys?
 
Mine is the Flame Angel. Not having a lot of luck. My last one jumped when the lid was off. The dog tried to tell me by repeatedly going to the tank but stupid human didn't catch on in time.

2nd for borbonius anthias.

But for what I have today, butterfly angel, dwarf flame angel, desjardini tang are all favorites.

But if I can get a blotchy anthias for a reasonable price I will certainly get one.
 
No, and probably never will..... Peppermint angels are far too expensive for my liking, and I don't trust myself with a fish like that.

at least in my eyes a multibar is sort of the budget peppermint angel, as far as body type and stripes at least 🤣
 
definitely make a post about the progress!!
She is itty bitty, just over an inch but is eating great, live baby brine shrimp and frozen as well as mysis. I planned on keeping her in an acclimation box for a week but when I opened the top this morning to feed her she jumped out and into the display. Amazingly there was no aggression including my other five wrasses and she swims around like she owns the tank.
