A Unicorn Tang. I ‘ignorantly’ bought one at my LFS— then went home and saw a video of one that was too big for a 1,200-gallon tank!!! I took the fish back the next day. (He was a beauty.)

Swallowtails are pretty much reef safe! Look into the Japanese angel, my favourite is the yellow swallowtail
Thanks but my tank is 55 gallons 3 ft long tank so this fish won't fit for my tank :(

I have always wanted a Clarion Angel fish, but my other favorite is the Passer Angel....sort of close to the Clarion, but not nearly as expensive. Had my LFS special order him for me. Took him home about s month ago!

i always wanted them but don’t want to kill them because I can’t feed them. I know some people keep them, but I don’t have the time, energy or right kind of tank.

Was fortunate to be able to keep bodianus opercularis but this is on my bucket list.

Candy Basslet. I don’t think they live very long in captivity.
This is one of my top 3 favorite reef fish. Great temperament as it doesn't bother anyone and completely reef safe. And of course the colors are striking. I had one for 2 years until I had to break that tank down and move. And my current one lives in an 8 foot tank and been with me for almost a year now. I would recommend this fish to everyone.

I always wanted a Dori fish but the fish store said my 50 gallon isn't big enough . Just kidding I really would like to have a Tanaka possum wrasse nothing fancy just seems hard to find and a geometric hawkish just think the look cool

Always wanted a Madagascar Coral Croucher! Tried to buy one this past fall, I had no idea the collection period was so short and they were in such high demand! Ill be on my A-game next year if I cant special order one in before the collection frame is over
