What is the coolest fish you own, and why?

Not my favorite, but the coolest would be my tiger goby. He is an Atlantic species that came in as a LR hitchiker, and is only about 1' long. He's so small that it only took about 1 week before he ended up going over the overflow and ended up in the filter sock.
I initially fished him out and put him back in the tank, but he kept going over the overflow. Finally I decided WTH, I'll just keep you in the filter sock.
He has been there for about 8 months now, and every time I change the sock he just goes into the new one. I think he just eats all the pods and stuff that collect there. Seems to be pretty happy, too! So now he's the official Filter Sock Fish!

well, my 6 line warsse is my favorite fish. He is currently my only fish, he disappeared about 2 weeks a go and i could not figure out where he went, so i tore down the entire tank, only a 20 gal but still a project, to look for him and to remove my damsel. I didnt find him and thought the clean up crew mus have done their job on him. About a week after the inital tear down i was cleaning off the intake to my return pump and something nipped me. i move the pump an low and behold he was hiding around the pump and had obviously claimed it as his own. Some how he must have gone in to the overflow through the screen through the intake pipe around the corner through the t tube and out in to the sump. He is realy friendly eats right out of my hand, and always swiming in and out of the rock picking at them. And eats like a PIG. Also 6 lines have sweet colors.

This is my fav fish my blenny. He is awesome, he has 3 different homes throughout the tank, hosts my mushroom and loves to be fed. A very funny fish to watch.
He also has a cheeky face.
His name is ERNIE

Wow, I thought I was the only one with a hitchhiker tiger goby who loves to take the splash ride down to the overflow.
I definatly agree with Pacman100 coolest fish ever.
But my favorite fish would have to be my Brazilian Royal Gramma, this fish has so much personality, When I was a newb I set up one of my tanks with an undergravel filter, whell I decided I didn't like it but couldn't take it out without tearing down my whole system, So I just took out the main tubes and left it, well the Gramma claimed the area under the sand bed as his, It's so funny to watch him dissapear under the sand bed and watch him from the bottom.

I like lots of fish.
But my fav that I own right now are a toss up between my Clown Goby and my unicorn tang.
Both have so much personality, my tang goes for all the food she can get and my goby tries to steal it from her mouth becuase she is so much faster then him..
The goby, Piercy, the way he perches all over the place is adorable.
