[Patman]

Dragonettes, they remind me of hummingbirds.

we were in Hawaii last month that booger was chasing after me every time LOL they are absolutely stunning

ha.... Mine is model citizen and liked me to pet him. My Niger on the other hand ;Meh

Had to use the Hawaiian name, huh? Lol

I know...that name is crazy. I see people use the scientific names on this site all the time and I'm like.....What the heck are they talking about.

Gobys are very pretty fish and i could watch them days on end

My lionfish is the only fish I ever REALLY wanted and what lured me back into saltwater after a decade or so hiatus. Its breathtaking watching them glide through the water so gently, then snap in the blink of an eye to catch their food.

Reef Save Angelfish (watanabei, etc). and reef safe triggers (the Xanthictus family and even the Pink Tail and Durgon which are mostly reef safe).

humuhumunukunukuapua'a. This fish is the reason I switched to saltwater.

Ditto - I voted "other" .... Triggers are just amazing!

 

[OneSockERock]

Regal Angelfish or Harlequin Tusk are my two favorite individuals, too hard to choose one!

I'm a sucker for wrasses in general - fairies, flashers, leopards, dragons - I love them all! Definitely had to vote for them as my #1 type.

1. My top favorite marine fish is the Bicolor Foxface (Siganus uspi), but this is a hard choice with many others that I also like.


2. Many types are beautiful, so it is hard to pick a favorite group.

 

[Mulkxican]

Not on the list, Triggers! If I had to pick one outta 6 I have its my Clown with the Assasi a close second.

Definitely Triggers!

1. What ONE fish do you think is the MOST beautiful fish in the hobby?

I guess if I had to pick.. ornate butterflyfish. Just so unique.

2. What "types" of fish do you think are the overall most beautiful fish in the hobby?

Definitely angels. So many stunning species in that group.

 

[WVNed]

My second choice would be the clown tang

Third would be angels

 

[Mr Fishface]

I put other, I think boxfish are the most beautiful. I love the colors and personalities of them!

triggers get my vote.
wish i had a tank for a clown trigger.

I was between angels and wrasses. I went with wrasses just because there are some less attractive angels, but nearly every wrasse is very nice looking. Multibar angels, interruptus angels, and attenuatus flasher wrasses are all at the top of my list.
Ventralis anthias also are up there, but I think they’re beat out by both wrasses and angels.

For me, wrasses have some of the best coloration and attitude (fairy wrasses specifically). I have a male flame wrasse that is out of this world. You think they're only orange/yellow/red, but there are so many intricate details. However, my favorite fish has to be Angelfish. Specifically, the genicanthus semifasciatus. This fish is the embodiment of epic. I've been looking for this fish for a year and a half and finally acquired it from @Dr. Reef. Hopefully it makes it through QT and shipping.
