Star of Your Tank - Page 2

My Hawkfish. Has a character of it's own. Loves to purch itself on top of corals, chip clips and the magnets on my two tunze pumps.

steelerfan1 · 06/04/2011, 10:22 AM

i would have to say it's my Heterotrophic Bacteria.

people always comment on how great it makes the tank look :-(

olemiss reb · 06/04/2011, 10:30 AM

The fimby in my 90 gets a fair amount of attention when it is out in the open(rarely)

The fimbies thunder is quickly stolen once the garden eels in the 65 are noticed

Cod Fish · 06/04/2011, 10:39 AM

Green monti, everyone likes it!

DownwardDawg · 06/04/2011, 11:05 AM

He's a tank hog!!!

Better pic

pnavarro170 · 06/04/2011, 11:09 AM

anthias then green chromis, green star polyps for corals for non reefers. and yes its a sps tank but those things dont sway so people dont care about them. haha.

DownwardDawg · 06/04/2011, 12:13 PM

Those garden eels are really cool looking!

Baldguy · 06/04/2011, 01:40 PM

Tspors, what is that? Come on guys, id the pics you post.

I am a noob!

Potsy · 06/04/2011, 02:33 PM

My large open brain coral and frogspawn get a lot of attention. In my previous tank, a huge swaying sinularia got all of the attention. It was my favorite coral. I'd take it over any colorful sps.

Cleaner shrimp seem to be a universal favorite among guests.

People notice the naso tang first, then swaying frogspawn. At least they don't notice the aiptasia!

Baldguy · 06/04/2011, 04:49 PM

Thanks all!! I am close to getting my first fish for my 120g. I figure a little research as to what gets along with what and maybe I'll have a tank full of stars thanks to all of you.

Keep em coming. David

Potsy · 06/04/2011, 04:50 PM

It seems that people's sps are mostly ignored by guests. While I do think that the variety of forms and colors found among sps are appealing, I wonder if a big part of their allure is their difficulty of care. What if lps and zoanthids were among the more difficult corals to keep? Would they then become the pinnacle of the hobby, with elaborate high-end systems built to support them?

Meus · 06/04/2011, 05:11 PM

Fish- Falco Hawk. personality and color are the main atractors. Until they see my cb angel.
Sessile- The purty purple rocks/green parazoanthid.

muttley000 · 06/04/2011, 08:16 PM

My red scooter blenny is what everyone always comments on

Caesra · 06/05/2011, 01:11 AM

I think it depends on my mood, My fav fish has to be my blenny....out of all the fish floating around, he has the most personality, Although, there is not replacement for all the chromis flocking to the my position on the glass when I walk into the room. My blenny was at the LFS forever, no one wanted him cuz he is brown (wonderful coloring on the fins though)....but what caught my attention for weeks was his insanely bouncy personality. If I am having a bad day I can go over to the tank he is in and just sit. He says, 'hey wats up? Want a pod, hold on...there's one..be back in a second,...I'm back, sorry, just was good lookin steak there....O wait, I'll be back in a sec..that other fish looks interesting..not sure what he doing....ok I'm back...on and on..."..never boring.

My fav coral died, my fault. Most would not be impressed, but it was hands down my fav out of everything in all my tanks.

And I swear, I don't dare look at my sump. If I do, I spend hours looking at the all the life down there...does that make me bad that i like watching the 'food'?

pompeyjohn · 06/05/2011, 02:26 AM

Mine was my Red Lynckia starfish. His name was Ringo, and after a year of happily mooching around the tank, he died today
