favorite fish?

I've never kept one, but the first fish that popped into my head that really blew me away as far as color/pattern go has to go to the Black-backed Wrasse (Anampses neoguinaicus). Though I don't think it's a "popular" fish? :)

Love the wrasse, the diamond tail appears to be a newer acquisition. Truly a stunning fish. Did you get yours from Michael?
 
My favorite fish so far have been;
Zebra moray eel - had so much personality
Japanese/Hawaiian dragon moray eel - just look and act so badass
Regal angel - Red sea species
Yellow tang - My one made the tank, perfect fish

morays are definitely a favorite of mine as well. eels in general, but those dragon morays are really something else i gotta agree.

did you go to the same place? see anything interesting?

Went snorkelling in the red sea off the coast of Egypt, and was soo beautiful, saw lionfish, butterfly's, Fully grown sohal tangs and yellow bellied regal angels which looked amazing in the reefs!
Is great to see the fish we keep in there natural habitats as well as in our homes right :)
