What is your favorite organism in your tank?!

[ckmullin]

Curious on what different favorites people have.

So please post your favorite living creature in your tank and why!


For the 1st post of this topic:

My favorite (so far 2 week old tank) is a hitchhiker rock anemone. I find it's a funky looking guy waddling about looking for it's spot.

Mine is my black needle spined urchin. Its amazing the places he can get into with all of those long spines sticking everywhere.

My favorite is Bluey my Powder Blue Tang. I also love my two football size clams.

Dont make me get out my microscope!!

[ckmullin]

No one else? :confused:

I had created this topic to see what people liked as it would bring to light new creatures which I've not seen. Such varied responses imo are interesting and helpful.

[Reef Puffer]

i love the goby/pistol pairs. even just the pistol shimp, such a cool little shrimp. i love my ribbon eel tho also, just stunning when he goes for a swim!

[ckmullin]

Hey, thanks for the response. Hum ribbon eel, never even thought of that!

i heard a tonne of things saying dont get one, most of them die.... i dont know how old those studies are? mine also just fell into my lap. was a rescue fish. i love the thing. never any trouble feeding frozen siversides, and hasnt bothered anything in my tank (mind you if he can get ahold of that pistol shrimp im sure he'll eat it). is well over 3 feet, still black but i hope he goes blue one day.

[ckmullin]

3 feet that's impressive! Perhaps the color might be due to diet conditions?

Cannot remember the name however @ a LFS they have small little eels just a few inches that almost stand up in the current waiting for a meal. Fun to watch!

[Proteus]

Acropora.

Buy far my favorite

[Coralgurl]

My metallic green bubble coral is my fave ATM!

[somewherebeyondthesea]

Mine would have to be Pulsating Xenia! So cool to watch!

Ah yes, that's it. tyvm

[pinkreef]

MY JUVIE PERC CLOWNS ARE MY FAV ATM :love:

[Dearth]

Favorite fish are my green chromis I know they are plain Jane but they deffinitely have character

Favorite coral hands down is my red and green brain coral

Favorite CUC are my blue legged hermit crabs spend hours just watching them

[denny_CC]

my three faves are my copperband butterfly, achilles tang and my pair of harlequin shrimp.

favorite coral---------zoanthids obviously:mrgreen::mrgreen:

[ScubaSteve]

Favourite fish is a toss up between my mystery wrasse, my potters wrasse or my resplendent Anthias. All are equally cool but I think mystery wrasse takes the cake for personality. Only fish I've met that swims right up to your face to look you in the eye and check you out.

Fave coral is my giant electric green milli colony.

Fave random critter: Babylonia snail. So cool.

[magikof7]

My fave fish is my Green Mandarin.
fave coral is a toss up between my gorgonains and my cup coral.
CUC critter, mini brittle stars.

[sumpfinfishe]

uni :redface: oops that was dinner last night

i will go with tuxedo urchin :mrgreen:

[asylumdown]

Until a few days ago I would have said my harlequin tusk, and my male hawaiian flame wrasse. Then the tusk fish killed the flame wrasse. so I'm gonna go with my colony of Acropora tricolor that's growing like gang-busters.
