Any WEIRD reef safe fish?

[Terryz_]

The long fin basslet is very very difficult to get feeding... It is cryptic in behavior and you will not see it after it enters your rockscape... I try twice and i gave up... But it is really a beauty...

Dwarf fuzzies make great reef fish. They will however eventually consume fish small enough, like your 2" goby. They are also cryptic enough to risk getting yourself stung when moving corals around. But they have a ton of personality and IME very hardy.

Most of the "weirder" reefsafe fish, i.e. ones that you rarely see or ones that dont look typical, are that way for a reason. Fish that arent in the hobby often are typically either expensive or very hard to keep, even some fish that are cheap are really hard to keep or shouldnt be kept. Also fish that dont have a typical shape, may not be "reef" fish at all and may adjust poorly to a brightly lit tank. Before you buy and fish you dont know much about, research as much as you can, not only aquarium sites, but check and other sites like fishbase.org

I just got a Wetmorella sp. Banded Possum Wrasse. When my two-year old daughter saw it, she said, "Pops, is that a fish?" I guess you could say it's wierd.
