What's Your Dream Showpiece Fish?

[offshored]

We're starting to fill out our new 240 gallon reef tank today and I'm now dreaming of the fish I want to keep.

Made we wonder what everybody's dream showpiece fish is?

Mine would be either a Sohal or Achilles Tang, nothing too crazy

The Sohal will probably need to wait for when we get a bigger tank one day though :thumbdown

I have two... a 8" powder blue tang and a 7" passer angel.

 

[Kahuna Tuna]

One day I will build an indoor/outdoor marine pond and it will be large enough to house a pair of Epaulette sharks, coolest reef fish ever, like big sharky salamanders they are.

In the here and now my majestic angel always gets the ooh's and ahh's along with my blueline angel.

BTW that is a beautiful tank, can't wait to see the build. I would pick the achilles as well for that tank.

Gem tang!

Well well well...
The Moorish Idol is one, but I'll never get one because their tendency to die shortly after collecting and I don't want to support that trade And now someone says "I have had mine for a year now" but 90% of them don't last for 2 months!

Regal angel is one, and that will get soon

And for those not-so-reefsafe... So many butterflies, angels what not...

Achilles <3

Uuuh... I'm getting one from a friend of mine! If you mean Coris gaimard...
It's 6" now. I'm filling my tank with these "rescue cases" :fun5:

My dream fish would be pair of either C. lunatus or C. johnsoni fairy wrasses.But because my wife thinks that any fish over $50 is too expensive I don't see having either anytime soon!! LOL!!

Dream showpiece fish is the Copperband Butterflyfish. My favorite marine fish of all time. A nice large 8 inch one which is also fat and happy would be awesome. Two reasons why I don't want to attempt one quite yet.

1) Don't have a large enough tank for one just yet. :headwalls:

2) I hate touching or being around worms which these guys love, so I'll have to get over that disgust eventually. :hmm3:
