I'd too have to say an aussie harley. I ordered one from The Reef Shoppe (many thanks to Kelly) a while back and he was always on the move, came home from work one day and feed the fish and didn't see him. Jumper, didn't think there was enough room!!!

I've read a few posts that suggest to keep in a reef tank only with lots of live rock because they are prone to going blind. I know of one case for sure because I had a huge one in with a ray (just a mound of rock) and you could catch him with one hand. Nearly killed me to see because he was about 8" with huge blue teeth!!!

Although he always bites my fingers, my 12" Sohal Tang is my favorite fish. Always greets me anytime I'm near the tank and eats out of my hand.

My favorite besides my wheelers goby is the the tail spot blenny they have a great personality.

Mine would have to be a Long Nosed Hawkfish. Just because of the personality. My wife calls it a swordfish.

King/passer angel and mandarin dragonette because I love the colouration of them and boxfish and blennies because I love their personalities.

We have a 14yr old flame hawkfish. He is hilarious, always on top of what's going on in or out of the tank. I suspect that's why he got the name snoopy :) I'd have to say he is my favorite in the 80g.

In our 90g reef I would have to say my favorite fish is Spidey our ember blenny. Not only is he beautiful to look at but full of personality as well.

My wife's favorite fish was my royal "grandma" (gramma) because of the name... :) my moms was my yellow tang because of his personality. I think mine was probably my Ocellaris clownfish... they were my first SW fish and lived 9 years. Clownfish were cooler before Finding Nemo came out.

My top rated larger fish would be fangs, I love all my tangs. Medium size would be my bicolor blennie, the wife and I call him grandpa due the perch posture and personality. Smaller fish would be my Swissguard, it is amazing fish if he ever comes into sight. Lastly in the delicate department, dragon face pipe fish; with 3 tunze 6105 and a wave box, the little guy still comes out and swims every where, what a trooper.

Flagfin Angelfish, she loves the current more than all the other fish combined in our tank. Very active fish! She looks cool under the moonlight as her mouth is purple and it glows under the blue light. (she's on the right, hard to get a picture as she is always moving)
