What is the one fish or coral you wish you could have in your tank?

[LPS Bum]

Red Sea Regal Angel. But I don’t trust it with all my fleshy LPS corals.

 

[David_CO]

Either ventralis Anthias or creole Anthias.

I saw a creole anthia at petco and didnt know what it was and googled real quick, they get huge! I think it was 45 bucks

 

[tigre44]

Pineatus batfish I once had one that I raised from 2-3” to about 12”. Current tank is too small and haven’t seen one for sale in years. Orange spot file fish, I have a mixed reef tank so file fish is out.

 

[The Mighty Afu]

Interruptus or Bandit Angelfish. Fell in love with these fish the first time I saw them. Not sure the wife would allow a cold water tank at this time after my most recent build.
Possibly some day

 

[Slocke]

Don't have a big enough tank for them:

As for this one:

Never tell an LFS they have a rare fish!!

Funny story of how I managed to turn an expensive fish into a ridiculously expensive fish. If you know me on here you may know me as the weirdo who loves snake eels. I currently have two of these quite rare and underrated in my opinion eels and that Article badge I have is my care guide for...

[HighlandReef]

OG Tyree watermelon and/or OG BPC flamethrower chalices.
Lost both in a tank crash years ago. Still drives me crazy to this day.

If it could be any:
Fish: Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. (If anyone has one they want to let go, Pm me)

 

[ReefRondo]

Orange spot filefish. Love them.

 

[HB AL]

Without a doubt a pair or single Crosshatch Trigger, Triggers!

I would love to have a mandarin. Although my tank is well established, it's only a 56g display with a 30g sump, which is not really enough if I can't get the Mandy to eat prepared food.

We have a mandarin fish for years in our tank. I grew out brine shrimp. Put them constantly in the tank, and before you knew it, they were breeding in the tank. Now we have a very healthy fat mandarin fish. The brine eats fish food or phytoplankton feed to the tank, so they seem nutritious to me.

Vlamingi Tang....All time fave. Had one years ago, and I swear, if it could follow me around the house it would. Would hide from everyone else though.

I had a mandarin in an established 55g and she had an all you can eat buffet. The caveat to that is I did let my tank run fallow for 2 months due to ich. During that time, the pods all went nuts and exploded in growth to the point they were crawling all over the sand during the day time. It looked like the stuff of nightmares lol

 

[salt creap]

if i sat on santa’s lap and was good, i would ask for multiple parrot fish and expensive stick colonies, crown of thorns sea-star, mixed with a school of Japanese Borbonius Anthias and a lion-fish, blue spot octopus and i wish they would all get along…

 

[dstockwell]

Would love to have Anthias, but don't have the time for there high maintenance needs.

 

[Kapachuka3]

I would really like a Scolymia but they are very expensive. i also do not have alot of room in my tank.

 

[BetterJake]

Longhorn Cowfish! My tank is not big enough. Even if I had a big enough tank, potential toxin risk is scary.

So cool looking and interesting swimmer!

 

[scottbapilot]

Boto Anthias, But at $1000.00 each.

 

[Dave1993]

would not mind having deep blue or a orca whale or a kraken or a megalodon

 

[Petcrazyson]

An Aussie Harlequin Tusk and an Achilles Tang
