Candy cane~an easy LPS. Trumpets are green...same thing basicly.

What kind of camera do you use promisetbg? And if you don't mine me asking, how much did it cost? :thinking:

I have a mated pair of gold bands that host a BTA. Very entertaining to watch them take care of and guard.

to be honest all those suggestions are good but the most entertaing fish is a DOGFACE puffer when he sees u he'll come right to the glass and he shows his teeth almost like he is smiling. there soo cute.

I interchange candy cane and trumpet corals all the time
I only see one head in you picture. Is there more and can you show me a picture? I know this is a different topic so you can post it in the photography area if you want. Beautiful pics by the way. I can't seem to get my Rebel XT to take great photos knowing it has the capabilities. I'm looking into macro lenses now. Thanks.

Wow, thank guys, those fish were great! More!!! I love hearing about all the weird thing fish do.. I am now especially interested in a LM Blenny & Jawfish- I also really like the red hawkfish - but think he may be too bold for a peaceful tank - what do you think? I will probably end up getting pair of mated clowns, lm blenny, goby of some sort & maybe the hawkfish or jawfish... not sure yet if they would all get along. Thanks for the pics!! :joy:

I agree with Algae Blenny (aka Lawnmover Blenny) They're so silly and very animated. YOu won't go wrong with a pair of clowns either. They're quite funny to watch. Another one of my favorites is my Royal Gramma. A beautiful fish that only hides a little bit. Mostly out in the open. It's peaceful and easy to keep. I had a clown goby that I loved, but it hid a lot and was very very difficult to feed. It only lasted a month in my tank befre I believe it starved to death. :(
Jawfish are cool because they will burrow in your subsrate and poke their silly little heads out. Sand sifters can make a mess of a clean tank though. Good luck with your decisions.
IMO the real entertainment is with the inverts. A few crabs and different shrimp variety make for an excellent show. :p

That is Dr. Suess, my lawnmower blenny. He is the friendliest fish! He even lets me pet him and scratch his little head.

So I am going to assume that this is the most entertaining non-aggressive fish.
I would have to say that a pair of clowns or a yellow tang.
