Two new tiny species for me
Paracentropogon rubripinnis
Scorpaenopsis diabolus (living in the sump because he’s so tiny)

Oh ya... A total waste of money in a larger tank because they don't move around at feeding time or any other time for that matter. LOL. If the food I dropper feed him with is more than an 1" away from him he ignores it. I'm convinced that in the wild they catch whatever floats by their mouths. Hunting for food is not what these guys are designed to do!Sounds like you have a good one in the perfect tank for it. These often just disappear when added to a larger tank.
One of those fish which definitely make you wonder how on earth they survive in the oceanOh ya...

I guess it works in their favor to have an entire ocean's worth of food simply float past their mouths for the taking. That's kind of an awesome sounding life. LOLOne of those fish which definitely make you wonder how on earth they survive in the ocean
Love a foxface - sadly they can’t resist picking at the skin of Scorpaeniformes!I have owned two venomous fish. Both the exact same species and surprise surprise, a fish I wouldn’t have a 4’+ tank without.
My Siganus magnificus. Yes, he’s in a softie & LPS reef which is ironic due to what they’re known for eating but he’s avoided all Softies so far.

Is that maybe a sea goblin? That looks crazy!Another new species for me - still working on an ID.

It’s likely a Scorpaenodes or Scorpaenopsis species rather than Inimicus but haven’t invested the time to research it properly yet. I’m all ears if anyone has ideasIs that maybe a sea goblin? That looks crazy!
Go for it - such a great little fish although they can be a bit reserved initially.Been eyeing up a rooster waspfish for one of my tanks. I feel very undecided but would be super unique!
It took me a moment to find the fish, that camouflage is amazing! Hopefully you find an ID eventuallyAnother new species for me - still working on an ID.
