This is my new favorite in my tank. My last lawnmower blenny passed away unexpected. So I got a Starry Blenny. He so far is my favorite. (This is not my picture, I am not home to get a picture. I will later today)

Don't have any particularly unique corals but got a few unusual butterflies.

My most unique living fish would be my naso tang. He always photo bombs me and hes so friendly i can pet him lol.

But my favorite was my puffer fish.. he had the best personality ever... unfortunatly he died :-(

My most unique coral would be my toxic splatter bubble coral. It can get bigger than a basket ball. And its coloring is very interesting with the splatters of green

They are pretty seasonal come in around November December, I got mine from an online store that is no longer in business. But Divers den usually gets a few in around that time. Be prepared for a challenge was a very difficult fish for me to condition. More shy picky eater than any copper band I have worked with.

We have a starry blenny in our biocube (got a midas blenny for our large tank) and we love him. He has great personality and looks. He's not mean at all, but is full of stubbornness. I swear if he could he would grunt at us. He bounces around and sleeps everywhere. He's very attentive and aware of what we do and will come express his opinion. He has a bed or coral that he will go lay in and sleep and he really flops in weird positions when he's laying. When we first got him he laid down in the coral "bed" and was flopped on his side almost upside down. One of our daughters saw him and said he was dead. Then my wife looked and said she thought he was dead too. I reached into the tank and tapped him and he didn't move and I tapped him again and he spun around, swatted me with his tail and went to another location with a look like he was saying "leave me alone when I sleep! I don't come wake you up".

I've come to love my starry blenny a lot. His personality is very unique. I call him fatty. Every morning I wake up and go feed him. I swims from him bed and up to the glass begging for food. Then his favorite spot it to chill on top of my wave maker which scares me. But seems like he is doing just fine up there. He is friendly but my kole tang is picking on him a little. But he stands up for himself.
