I don't know how rare but he's a picture of our horseshoe crab. Its right after he molted.

This picture is from my reef tank 12 years ago. I was going through my old phone and found this picture of Loard Helmet our horseshoe crab. We had him for 5 or 6 years before we got out of the hobby and gave everything to a lfs. I had started a business and we were moving so no time for a tank. Now I'm building a new tank and after looking for old pictures I thought I'd share this one. It's his molt and him in the background.

He was a destroyer of bristle worms. He would cruise the sand bed and destroy worms and flip over anything in his way. We bought him on a whim and didn't regret it at all. Hopefully he's still around somewhere.

This guy is a fuzzy chiton. Little prehistoric bug. Scours my rock like a tiny Brillo pad. Very cool little guys.

Everything I put in the tank LOL he is a little piggy. I feed him brine, micro pellets and flake. But he will try and eat mysis and anything else I toss in for the other fish.

Gunther's wrasse (Pseudolabrus guentheri), it's not very brightly coloured and it's not found in deep waters off japan... but it's probably still rarer than what 99% of 'rare' fish are! It's endemic to the subtropical waters of eastern Australia. This guy is an absolute beast too and is not scared of any other fish.
