What's that one fish you just HAVE to have in your reef tank?

Marine Betta
I’m with you on the Marine Betta - it’s on my list! They are so cool looking!

I have a 73 gallon, so I’m somewhat limited in my overall choices. My wife is having a hard time understanding that 73 gallons is not a large tank.

Already have the obligatory pair of clowns (an Oscellaris and a Da Vinci - which I wish I would have gotten 2 of in hindsight) and the Watchman Goby/Tiger Pistol Shrimp. Also on my must have list (and possibly my next fish), a Whitetail Bristletooth Tang! Thought about Tomini (and they are a lot less $), but the Whitetail just looks way cooler to me.

A mandarin for me. Such a beautiful creature

Just a note of interest you may or may not know but they are aquaculturing these and they actually to my surprise are raised eating pellet food . The ones I saw here in Orlando fl. were expensive but given that they are aquacultured and eating pellet seems like it might be worth the cost given the alternative of keeping a culture of pods growing .

Royal gramma and clownfish pair. I'm trying to find more interesting clowns than the ocellaris, so I might try a pair of bicinctus.
As I mentioned in another post - I love the Da Vinci’s. Here’s mine!

Yup. I got a pair from Biota. Really small when they arrived which caused a lot of anxiety but doing very well & eating well.

A rabbitfish (definitely not any of the fox faces ). Ideally it would always be a bluespot (S. corallinus over S. tetrazonus) but given they're hard to find, I have kept a couple of other species. I currently have a masked rabbitfish in my main tank.
