Great-looking fish, but a rough personality

[Gumbies R Us]

There are a lot of fish out there that have unique colors or a striking look, but as many of us know, those looks can be deceiving. A fish with a vibrant color can wreak havoc on your coral, or a fish with a unique appearance can be aggressive towards the rest of your livestock. Let's talk about fish that look great but have a not-so-great temperament/personality!

Thalassoma wrasses have some amazing coloration, I'm especially fond of banana and blueheaded wrasses. If only they weren't bullies.

Also, maroon clowns... No need to say more here

I love domino damselfish so so much but they're are just way too mean, I used to have a female who I had as a tiny little baby but she eventually got too mean to even the bigger fish so she now lives out life at my lfs' mixed reef display where shes huge and happy

Fiji Devil Damsel, and most other damsels to be honest. Great colors and bold personality but they can be real terrors in a tank.

Clown Trigger. Always loved the looks of this fish but for obvious reasons I could never get one
