What are some of the more exotic, rare, interesting, colorful reef-safe fish/critters. The ones that you don't see in every other saltwater tank (eg. blue tang, yellow tang, clownfish etc)

A lot of the fairy wrasses are very nice and less common. The crosshatch, sargassum or blue throat triggers are also less common. Pyramid butterflies are nice. Some of the more rare dwarf angels (i.e. interuptus) are also very nice.

Telford,

Chris (Interior Reef) has some really interesting fish on their way soon...I would PM him for some ideas on what he will have.
