POLL: Have ever scuba'ed or snorkeled and seen a fish in the wild that you also have as a pet at home?

Every year we take a vacation to Destin FL and snorkel off the jettys..... tons of blue damsels and Atlantic blue tangs

One of the inspirations for my systems is the many reefs I have been diving on. I would guess that I've seen dozens (or more) different creatures that I've had over the years.

Ive seen damsels and basslets. I've seen a blue Caribbean tangs and French angels. Sadly my system is too small

Orange ball anemone (actually a corallimorph but most refer to them as anemones) That one on a night dive in Bonaire. It was probably 4-5" in diameter.

In the hobby occasionally the smaller white ones pop up especially in shipments of LR from the Gulf.
