What's your favorite species of fish or coral to keep?

Just browsing some livestock and starting a list for my 57g rimless and was wondering what are some of your favorite corals or fish to keep?
Thanks!:strooper:

Easy one for me, I absolutely love the Blue Millepora, can't get enough of it!

Naso Blonde Tang:

But 57 Gallons is to small for those so I would go with Copperband Butterfly Fish:

Beautiful fish! what size tank do you have? and I was actually just looking at copperbands, thanks for the rec! and the pics :)

[shaginwagon13]

I have a 300 gallon DT.... none of the pics I posted were from my tank I got them off the net but I do have them in my system right now. I love my tangs (I also have a Yellow Tang) but my Copperband if one of my favorites for sure.

The fish I have in my tank you could keep in a 57 Gallon are:

Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus)
Firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica)
Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Sailfin/Algae Blenny (Salarias fasciatus)
Red Mandarin (Pterosynchiropus splendidus var.)
Sleeper Blue Dot Goby (Valenciennea sexguttata)
Diamond Watchman Goby (Valenciennea puellaris)

All these fish are beautiful, I would recommend the firefish and Copperband from the list.

Fish: Blennies. I swear these fish think they are human. So much personality, and as much fun as they are to watch, they enjoy to people watch.

Corals: SPS, chalices and zoas/palys. While you can spend tons of money on corals, I've found that all of these can be had for reasonable prices, if you have self control.

This has got to be one of my favorite smaller reef fish, Spotted Hawk so much personality and spunk yet lethargic at the same time.

Love a good bubble coral, moderately easy to take care of and fun to feed.

I would do the longnose hawkfish and a flame angel

[reefjunkie42]

wrasses , fairy and flashers in particular

[demonnite57]

I love my Neon Gobies, and my paired up Tiger Pistol and Pink Spotted Watchman Goby

These corals are awesome!

[Netofficer3710]

I'm looking for rare colors now like white, red, pink, and green.

[yubunski]

wrasse, esp my flame wrasse. Wouldn't give my mated pair up for any other fish.

I'm very partial to Monti due to the color and the encrusting/plating characteristic. Love my season's greeting monti.
