what's your favorite fish? why?

Flame Wrasses - for both the bold and subtle beauty. I love supermales with the thin blue line that really adds to the "flame" appearance. A flame wrasse was my first real expensive fish, and 8 or so years ago when I got my first they were a lot less common then these days.

While I love all the fairy wrasses I have stopped collecting them over the years as they are fragile and expensive but hope to eventually start getting some more.

More recently I have started to really like Genicanthus angels. The differences between males and females and the fact even experienced reefers sometimes think the male and females are different species. For years I never really gave these guys much thoughts but they are a great tang alternative as show fish.

Molly Miller. Of all the fish I have kept, this one was the ugliest but had the best personality. "Snail Tipping" was his favorite passtime! If you haven't had the pleasure of having one of these, you are missing out. Awesome fish!

First would be my mated pair of clowns as they host my RBTA's center front always busy and caring for their eggs. Next would be my powder blue tang came in after all my gorgeous big healthy naso , yellow and purple etc tangs small and a little beat up but he's a survivor and loves to follow all the big guys around and doing really well now lots of personality. I also second the flame hawkfish unfortunately lost mine a few weeks ago.
