What livestock was truly a remarkable addition to your tank?

[Gumbies R Us]

I remember the day when we got our BTA and I was thrilled to finally have one. To this day that BTA is still the best addition we ever added to our tank. So I am wondering, what livestock did you add to your tank that you just can't get enough of.

My flame hawk, I just love having a fishes undivided attention.

My Midas blenny! I never knew fish could have that much personality until I got mine. He greets me at the side of the tank every time I walk into the room

Lettuce nudibranch. I no longer have to scrub algae out of Zoa/paly colonies or scrape algae off the back wall.

Meet Alpheus Armatus. Not a pistol shrimp. It's a snapping shrimp. He won't pair with a goby. He will pair up with a particular anemone as well as follow around any other trying to set up shop under it's protection. He snaps non stop if anything wanders into his cave, when I'm trying to sleep. He stacks the snails he incorrectly assumes are dead, after he starts blasting on them. He snaps at me. It doesn't feel great, but it doesn't hurt. Absolutely the coolest animal in my tanks and it's not even close. He barely even comes out of his cave. He's 4 years old now. Not sure how long they can go for.

Lawnmower Blenny. He turned the tide in the battle against algae growing on the rockwork of my new reef tank.

Fighting conch was a great addition and keep my sand bed pristine

Anthias made all my shy fish start coming out the day they were added to my tank. My shy fish are no longer shy and the anthias come right up to greet me

A filefish would do amazing, with aphasia.

 

[i cant think]

It’s got to be my pencil wrasses, they are my pride and joy fish!
Currently I have 3 species but only 2 of those are actually out of the sand and happy. One is my absolute favourite species of pencil though - Pseudojuloides kaleidos.

And my edwardi.

+1 Midas Blenny, anytime i come near the tank he swims up to me and starts swimming at the top with his head fully out of the water (probably because food but still no other fish of mine does this, he also perches adorably on the center rock in my tank and when he goes into his rock his little head sticks out and it’s so cute. awesome personality

Scopus tang. Not the flashiest of the tangs but look closely and you’ll see all the pretty patterns and colors they have. Plus mine is the best cleaner in the tank. Hands down puts my other tangs to shame.

But, seriously, once I got rid of a Trigger fish, any and all herbivores were a game changer.
