So I was at the Monterey Bay aquarium today and fell in love with these little guys. Of course cannot figure out what they are at all, anyone know? They were in the reef tank there.

I was just at the Monterey Bay Aquarium last week. Hope you went to the California Academy of the Sciences. The Steinhart Aquarium there is amazing.

They're precious--a perfect little reef fish. I have a pair now and another pair on the way from DD.
