RAREst fish in your sps tank

[ReefWaters]

Bigred.... Nice list! I especially like the pipefish and the unicorn.

Maximus.... You keep making me want to call RCT and get my own pair. Stunning!!!!!


I know they are not rare at all in the aquarium trade, but they are in SPS tanks.....
GROUPERS! Come On! Someone please show me a Miniatus or a Lyretail (Variola louti) in a big SPS tank.

 

[Bigred]

You have a beautiful fish there Maximus. Here's a couple pics of my pipefish.

I was just about to post a few pics of my fish but DAMN not after Maximus, that is one hard act to follow.

Not so rare, I know, but more red than I have seen on any other...my bellus angel...

Here is my new aquired Regal Angel (Christmas present to myself). I wouldn't call him rare ,but just difficult to keep. Had him about 4 days now. He is already eating live brine shrimp and nori off the clip.

Very nice fish guys! Thanks for all the compliments! As Tokitay states, please post more pics!

OK guys. This is the rarest fish in my tank since I have not being able to find out what it is. Anyone care to make a guess? The fish is about 4 Ã"šÃ‚½ inches. My best guess is that is a ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œBodianus sp.ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚

Thanks

Are you really telling me that NO ONE has tried to keep a grouper in an SPS dominant tank?

 

[pookstreet]

I don't know about rarity, but it's my favorite fish in my tank, a male Watanabei angel. He'll eat from my fingers

Here are some of mine...

Lineatus Wrasse

Gem Tang, Helfrichi firefish, Tongan Blenny

Interruptus Angel

Just waiting for my SPS's to grow

Wayne, where did you find your Snowflake Clown?

 

[WayneL333]

I got a captive bred pair from a wholesaler here in LA.

 

[ekropp]

What's did the snowflake clown cost?

 

[ReefWaters]

Has anyone found a good source for Interruptus Angels other than RCT?

RCT is pretty expensive isnt it Maximus?

I have not found a cheaper source than RCT. The ones sold at LFS usually are twice as much what RCT charges and they're not captive bred either, i.e. probally not reef safe.

What's did the snowflake clown cost?

I paid $200 wholesale for a bonded pair. So you're probally looking at $400 retail.
