Hello everyone-
After stocking with mostly common nano fish, I’d like to bring one or two rare, larger fish to my 110gal as showpiece fish . Not Gem or Yellow tangs - something more different/unique. Been doing some research, but looking for other reefers thoughts. Thanks!
 
Many interesting fish out there.

Lots of Labridae that fit the bill, Cirrhilabrus and Bodianus have species have never been in the hobby and ones that range into the tens of thousands.

Rare butterflies like Prognathodes, Roaops and Roa.

Medium and large basslets in Liopropoma, Serranus.

Large anthias like Sacura, Odontanthias, the larger of the Plectranthias.

Shocking number of very interesting and different tile fish.

Always uncommon and hard to collect angelfish.

More unusual things like brotulids, blue devils, funky jawfish, frogfish, odd lions and scorpionfish.
