What are some of the prettiest reef safe fish you have in your tank.

When I face this question, I ask myself "how many times do I live?" followed closely by "do I have enough room on my credit card for it?"

Its so funny because that's almost exactly how I make big purchases lol. usually followed by I can always donate plasma for $220/month but I never follow through with it lol

Omg, 220?where!?

I've had a wonderful experience with my Valentini puffer, but he was nippy at snails at first. They adjusted and now only come out at night. I have him in a mixed 30 gallon with sps, lps, softies and palys\zoas. My prettiest fish, however, would have to be my Potter's angel or my Bartlett's anthias.

Haha, that's funny I completely fund my reef addiction by donating plasma! It's the only way my wife was okay with it. [emoji6]

I don't mind spending an hour 2 days a week to make 200 a month but I have a hard time making it their with the kids lol. Im really looking at getting a honeycomb puffer but im nervous that my sps might take a hit.

I've only had it for a few weeks in the DT, but the Midas blenny is by far the star of the tank right now. Also a HUGE, MOODY CHICKEN, even worse than the Tomini tang in my other tank!

Royal gramma: they have great personality, they rule the tank like a king, they tend to dart in and out of caves and are sometimes aggressive, mine will occasionally peck at my cleaner shrimp during feeding time and used to get snippy with anyone who got to close to his cave. Great fish all in all. Here is a picture of mine:

I think I may bring one home Friday!

 

[Deinonych]

I love my Royal Gramma as well, but my Red Margin Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus) is my favorite.

 

[Mikedawg]

Orchid dottyback, RG and orange back fairy wrasse - lot of of purple and orange, reef safe and compatible.

 

[Radman73]

I love my orange back fairy wrasse. Purple head, orange back, and blue body. Check out wrasses in general and fairy wrasses in particular. If you pick them right, you an fit a bunch into a 220. And that's my goal wrasses and anthias.

My adult red coris wrasse

 

[PatW]

Hard to say. My yellow tang almost glows. My Kole tang has a nice restrained set of colors. My Bengai cardinals have that nice black and white.

 

[Daltrey]

I love my powder blue tang.

 

[XNavyDiver]

Another fan of the royal gramma. Very peaceful but a bit shy. Mine is a total porker. I've got 2 female Bartletts anthias on the way. Looking forward to seeing how they will fair with the current zoo.

 

[Kmsutows]

I've always loved marine betta, but every one I've had over the decades is either (A) always hiding, or (B) very aggressive towards smaller fish and shrimp.

Midas blenny (and many other blennies) are an _excellent_ choice for a reef.

My marine betta can always be seen in my 150gal, has never gone after any fish (I have tiny ventralis anthias too) or shrimp, and they are basically immune to disease from what I've read they've never been documented with ich

My adult red coris wrasse

my lfs has a beautiful one right now. does your nip at any sps or your cuc at all

 

[JBKReef]

I love my starry blenny but he is just killing some of my lps by throwing sand all over them. He will probably end up in the 220 as well. Anyone ever had any good experience with puffers. I would love to add a small one like the honeycomb. I have had a few in other tanks with inverts and they never bothered them but I don't want my cuc in my reef to start disappearing

I had no idea that Starry's "landscaped" so much... he picks over my sand bed and will kick up a dust storm anytime I rearrange his sand after a cleaning.

 

[Caseyoidae]

Midas blenny, beautiful fish and funny personality. Mine defends his perch from other fish by opening his mouth and darting out at them. They mostly just ignore him. Sand sifting gobies too!

Royal Gramma
McCorsky Flasher Wrasse
Coral Beauty

I love my Potter's Angel!
