The Flame Hawkfish is one of my favorite fish and I have always had one in my reef tank. They are beautiful and have a great personality.

The Yellow Pyramid Butterflyfish is usually found feeding high in the water column above coral heads in its natural ecosystem, making it a “reef safe”.
Japanese Masked Swallowtail Angelfish feed in the wild above the reef and will typically not graze on rock and coral in a reef tank.

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to pick up a mated pair of MochaVinci Clownfish, a strain bred by Sea & Reef in Maine.

I love designer clownfish so when Sea & Reef recently announced a new designer clownfish I became intrigued. The new strain, currently un-named, is striking with its distinctive panda-like black and white markings. The release date for these beauties was supposed to be the Fall of 2015 but that was pushed back to grow out more
I admit that I am addicted to keeping SPS but I also get jazzed about choosing and raising the fish in my reef tank. They add a lot of color and motion.
