strange and unusual fish?

[tiggerbengal]

What are some unusual fish you have seen at your stores? Today, I saw an octopus at the store that I bought the crabs and snails from .... I've never seen one before, but he was cute I also saw a giant hermit crab with a GIANT shell on his back.
The place that I bought my cleaner shrimp from, I saw a starfish & it was labled as a "dic" starfish. I kid you not ......... It was a big, fat, peachy starfish. Bizare looking!

My LFS just got my Dream Fish...
Blue Spotted Stingray in a 200 gallon reef.
He is sooo cool looking but my wife is afraid because she read that they can kill you.
Guess that's a good reason to avoid them.

How about a blue ring octopus. One of the most poisons creatures on earth. I read a quote once, if your bitten by a blue ring, sit down enjoy a beer, you will be dead in 5 minutes. There is no known anti-dote, and it's toxins work extremly fast.
It was really pretty, but I don't think I would want one that close.

Not that its unusual to anyone down south but at a store up here in Canada my LFS had four different species of rabbitfish...

Several months back my lfs had 2 batfish. Very cool fish, they should be left in the ocean.

my lfs has a box fish.. wierd looking thing too, and some type of manderin goby, but it has a different pattern than most manderin gobies have .. real neat looking fish.. i was going to ask about it but my wife gets tired of me standing in the store for hours talking to everyone about different things in there.

I saw an octopus and a blue spotted ray and several batish at my LFS a couple weeks ago.
The coolest thing they've ever had were the nurse sharks and spotted leapord sharks they had.
I'm also a very big fan od mandarins, such beautiful coloration.
