Coolest looking, most under rated fish?

[nanoreefer88]

IMO the six-line wrasse would be the coolest looking, most under rated fish. Any other opinions?

I've always thought Potter's Angels are grossly underrated. I have seen some specimens are that are absolute eye-candy, yet people would rather lust over a Hotumatua or Joculator angelfish

oh, come on len were's the pic of the eye candy angel? TIA

It's a kool fish... I got one. But I wouldn't say they are under-rated. They are a STAPLE like many other fish. :wink:

Here's a nice photo from www.hawaiisfishes.com. I love the Potters

I guess we all have different definitions of underrated

Yellow-Tail Blue Damsels. Very underrated for a nice looking Bright blue fish.

Yes! Chrysiptera parasema is very mis-maligned (new word?).

I like Eibli angels, and half-blacks as well. Subtle uncommon beauty.

I also think assessors should be more popular. Super hardy and beautiful!

One of my new faves is the Splendid dottyback. So far not really showing any aggression at all to some smaller fish I have it with, a royal gramma, a C. parasema, a neon goby, as well as two smaller clarkii clowns.

Matt, captive-bred P.splendens? My wild-caught from ages ago was the most vicious fish I've ever owned. It chased two Cirrhilabrus wrasses out of the tank.

I believe it is captive bred. It was only $15, so I think it must be.

Man I love the dwarf angels.

How many do you think will safely cohabitate in a 135g tank? Right now I hae a flame & bicolor. I'm curious if a potters could fit in with that amongst others

Swissguard Bass - you'll rarely see him, but when you do it's a real treat, especially Hermit Crab stalking.

Ocellaris false percula clown fish.

I really like that Splendid Dottyback too... but I thought I heard they're not exactly reef-safe or friendly. Potter's Angel is hot too.

I like the Potter's Angel- always wanted one. Does that coloring change, or is that a stable adult coloration?

Centropyge multicolor

Love these little guys....and the c. vroliki as well (mine is named Sparky)

That splendid dottyback is on the shortlist for my 150, but I like the springeri quite a bit too. That's an underrated fish.

The six-line is beautiful, thinking of getting one.
