Mimic octopuss its the one i would like the most but needs a bigger aquarium altough she doesnt grow too big.Here it costs like 100 euro and it mimics a lot of venomous amimals from lionfish to poisonous flat fishes.Stay away from that tiny blue ring octopuss.Its cheap ,costs half as the mimic octopuss but if it bites you,your dead in 5 minutes.The good thing with an octopuss is that you can let the light dim so that algae wont grow in the display.For filtration you would need a protein skimmer but also a soird of biological filtration,eyther by bacteria (wet dry filter ,lots or live rock in the sump etc) or by plants ,refugium,algae scrubber.
