I have to have a member of the Halichoeres family. Plenty to choose from but I got to have one or it's just not right.

Can’t pick just 1
But clownfish , foxface and lawnmower blenny are all my favourite

My blotchy

 

[TankCandy]

Starry blenny. Brings so much personality to the tank. She sits on the frag rack watching me all day lol.

 

[RedReefer]

I always start with a pair of clowns. For the past 15 years I always had a pair of clowns in every tank.

 

[Rickybobby]

Clownfish for sure!

 

[tkd]

Definitely a pair of clownfish and yellow tang.

 

[SPSnut25]

A blenny of some sort... Or a watchman goby

 

[kingoftheHiLLpeople]

Tailspot Blenny

 

[pseudorand]

To all the clowns lovers, what sort, and why?

I have a pair of Clarkiis, and they're big bullies. They do always come out, which is nice. But that's the only nice thing. I then I got the clownfish from IT.

My royal Gramma is my favorite. She's probably just as mean, but to small to harass anyone.

[Tacticool-Reefer]

I would normally not care too much. I like a lot of different fish. But this one has been with me for what will be 15 years in January (next month). I’m hoping to have him another 10 years. But at this point if / when something happens, I can’t see myself not having a purple tang in my tank. I just have to.

Clown Trigger

 

[xxkenny90xx]

Definitely a dragonette!

Any eel! Even my freshwater tank has a couple in it.
