pseudochromis, the purple ones.

My yellow tang has been through alot over the last 2 years. He's one tough dood. My big maroon clown is also pretty tough.

the firefish, blue gudgeon, scooter blenny, and chromises. they were the fish i had when i started and lived through all my newbie screw ups. none of them ever got sick from it and still have them over a year now

I've had a tomato clown for almost three years. He has survived when others succumbed, even two moves. Also my pair of bangaii cards are tough although somewhat reclusive. On the other hand, I have a problem with yellow tangs. I lost three and doubt I will get another. I have a 75g reef.

What is your pick for the hardiest reef safe fish that you have had. For me they are the Clown, Flame Hawk, Cardinal and Yellow tang.

Our Blue Tang, Cherry head wrass and naso tang have been through 2 moves in 2years (Moved into bigger stores) They are hand fed and great fish...

this fish store owner one time told that Clowns were bullet proof, I tend to agree.

 

[scooterr]

yeah, Clowns, chromis and damsels. (one would almost think they'd be in the same family)

I've had a cardinal fish for about 6 or 7 years and my maroon clown is also really tough. I have two blue damsels that are also tough as nails.

 

[pghflame]

My Hippo and clown. 3 moves...2 years...still goin' strong. (Hope I didn't just jinx them)

Scooterr I believe you are correct the Blue Chromis are damsels and the Clowns are I hear also Damsels and obviously the blue devil or whatever blue damsel you have is also a Damsel.

But I personally would not get the Blue or the Blue Devils due to them being plain old pain in the but fish. The chromis are calm except in pairs and very fast when it comes to food. and the clowns are just plain goofy and fun to watch.

But I would have to say I like my Wrasses the best, very hardy and beautiful colors.
