Most attractive reef fish

[richw]

I am new to this site so forgive me if this is an old topic.

I am curious as to other reefer's opinions with regard to the most attractive reef-compatible fish.

My two favorites are the hippo tang (the fish that brought me into the hobby when I was 11) and the lineatus wrasse (a fish I just picked up from Aquacon.com).

My next fish is going to be a desjardini sailfin tang, another stunner.

Fairy wrasse.

Fairy wrasse? Anyone in particular?

I have never seen any fish as beautiful as a vlamingi tang.

The Orchid Dottyback! Nothing glows brighter than that!

Some may not agree on its 'reef safe-ness', but I'm going to risk it with a juvi as soon as I can get ahold of one... Harlequin Tusk, hands down favorite fish in the ocean (at least until they figure out a way to shrink a great white to under 10". hehehehe)

Majestic Angel. My is graceful and beautiful and is a model citizen in my reef.

Tie between Queen Angel (Holacantus ciliaris) and French Angel (Pomacanthus paru)...

Until yesterday, I would have said the Regal Angel.

For nano reefs, fire fishes especially the purple one. Looks very special/rare (especially to non-reefers). I like them flicking their top fins.

Of course, the answer depends on your tank size, however, tonite I bask in herbivores....
