Although not rare, this Bandit was around the size of a quarter.

Nice collect of fish. I have been thinking of maybe a pair of bandits for my last fish to add. Not sure though. How does yours do?

I have always loved Bandits. She is always cruising the tank and will eat just about anything I feed. Even at a small size, the Bandit never showed any fear. My Bandit usually lets any new fish know who is the boss, but that goes away very quickly. IMO. Bandits are absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for the kind word Luke wolf. The clarion is pretty good with coral. I can’t have any z or p’s, acans, scolies,or blastos. He’s also been known to nibble on a chalice haha. So I can pretty much add Lps at his discretion :). Other wise he’s a model citizen.

Gorgeous!!! Love those torches too!
Thanks “! I’m obsessed with torches haha
The only problem I have with my diamond tail is his colors only show when he is being aggressive

Wow that’s a great picture hard to take a picture with them flashing since they’re so fast!

Not sure how rare, but I've only seen them the one time & I picked him up. Blue lined butterflyfish, he is a little feisty.
That's one I hadn't seen

I use to have one of these. It was always mean to my tinkeri. There is currently one available on DD

I think it beat up the other small butterflies I tried adding after, so it's currently my only B/F. It does quarrel with my Flame angel at times too, but he's feisty himself.

The boss of my tank is my captive bred clarion angle.
Wow!!!! What an amazing angel!!! How big was he when you got him? No issues with him? No aggression issues? Any recommendations concerning getting one. He’s a dream fish for me

Thank you for the kind words Bruce. When I got the clarion it was tiny. It might have been a couple inches. It was from one of the first Bali aquarich captive bred batches. These days it’s roughly a dinner plate lol. Besides the lps restrictions, I’ve been lucky with this fish. It gets along well with all my other fish, and it has been very healthy all the years I’ve had it. I couldn’t ask for more :)

Why do all your fish look like trout?

Didn’t see much wrasse in here but my favorite fish by far that I consider rare is the diamond tail flasher wrasse. Tight lid required!

P. Attenuatus is one of my favorites! Mine died recently from what I believe was old age. He used to nibble food out of my hand. Here is one of mine, Cirrhilabrus Nahacky. Hard to get a pic of him.
