My all time Fav is the Ocellaris clownfish. They are fun to watch.
People say that they're cliche. I think they're awesome!
Picassos are way cooler though, imo. They look like what a regular ocellaris would look like if picasso attempted to paint it.

coco worm, sexy shrimp, Pom pom crab, Yasha goby, helfrichi firefish, any kind of clownfish, blennies (tessellated, mimic and tail spot), candy basslet and mini carpet anemones.
Candy Basslet! Love 'em. The price tag...not so much.
Yah, some of the Basselets and wrasses are beautifull but the price can sure be a show stoper. Just forget about anything that costs more then my arm and/or leg.
I tell you what though, I got an emerald crab for about $5.00 and he sure gets the attention, folks just love him!
Porcelain Crabs of any flavor. I have a couple blue ones.
Blood Red shrimp.
Harlequin Shrimp.
Corals are gorgeous, but I like arthropods...
I want a PomPom! Awesome
!!
Meowzer - the pompoms are little tiny anemones. They carry them around - symbiotic like clowns. Well, sorta.

What exactly are the Pom-Poms on that crab?
That Basslet is beautiful...no way would I pay that much for a fish though...whether I had it or not.
They are miniature anemones. I used to have a pom pom crab in my nano..it used to hide a lot but when it did make an appearance it was the greatest. Hm....maybe i'll get another one?
