Do you have anything in your tank considered "uncommon"?

[Gumbies R Us]

One aspect of this hobby that interests me is seeing people have something unique in their tanks. Maybe it is a fish you don't see every day or a species of coral that you only see once in a while on a vendor's storefront. I wonder what you have in your tank that would be considered "uncommon."

I have a collection of colorful majano anemones (purposely)




They have been sump inhabitants but they deserve their own pico tbh

Do you have pictures of those anemones?

I collect the uncommon
Natural grafted bi color hammer, from a reefer growing the parent colony for 20 years. Very rarely it will grow two opposite color heads from a single branch

This Wellsophyllia is one of my favorites and is uncommon in these colors

This lobo is a crazy mix of purple, with green pinstriping, and orange glitter effect all over

This rainbow goni

All of these Asian acans are uncommon and unique

In my old 90g, I had a Sea Apple. When I was on 3reef, I believe I was the only one who did. Or I just never had communication with others who had tried. I target fed that bad boy and it was a happy camper. BY FAR the most beautiful thing I had in the tank.

My 6 year old found this short bigeye fish in a beach puddle this summer. It’s in my coral qt tank. They get quite large so it will be going to a buddies fowlr once it gets larger. Currently the size of a half dollar and eating like a pig!

I had something labled bi color hammer I bought way back in the day when corals were cheap.

It was $5 a head, wish I had a better pic. I thought it was pretty cool once grown out.

That black and green goni is an awesome coral to have for Halloween!
Just made me think what if we had reefing trick or treat and we hand out frags?

How about Larry, the Lobster Overlord? Or Larry Jr?

I think one of the weirdest things I've ever had was a 7' Baseodiscus mexicanus flatworm. Loved devouring snails, clam on the half shell, and bristleworms. One of the clown pairs used it like an anemone. Nothing bothered it, even the triggers, butterflies, and angels. It exuded a purple slime that I'm assuming was toxic when initially picked at, and nothing tried a second time.

A closed loop using a sine pump. I know they were big back in the day, but I don't hear much about them now. But I think the the person who has the most uncommon item is @Paul B . I believe he still runs a reverse underground filter

First off. LARRY Sr is awesome!

Second - for having giant zebra flatworm as a pet…
Thread winner

Probably my Noae clam. Don’t see too many.
