It amazes me sometimes how many posts i see talking about particular fish and corals that seem to be everyone's favorite or for some reason a "must have" for every tank. (Yellow tangs and now torches, particularly tiger torches come to mind). I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but doesn't it seem like the "eye of the beholder" is being swayed heavily by marketing tactics and other similar things? Personally i always thought the coolest thing about a marine aquarium was the endless variety of organisms you can stock it with and make it your own little world. (That's what I try to do by seeking out rare and unusual species.) I'm definitely not trying to tell anyone what should go in their tank btw but isn't there something extra special about your tank being as unique as possible instead of what the "typical" tank is in everyone's mind? Just a random thought i had...don't take it too seriously...
