I’ve got a mandarin fish that’s gorgeous a bicolour blenny that has great personality and I was lucky with my coral beauty in that it has shown no signs of hurting corals and looks greatLooking for a good list of really pretty reef safe fish. Im wanting some stuff that has some bright color like a tang. Just seeing what is out there I might not have seen or thought of.
This is an Orchid Dottyback, Pseudochromis fridmani. Not strawberry dottyback, Pseudochromis porphyreus. Orchid is a much better fish, more beautiful and much much less aggressive. The strawberry color is lighter and fins are clear, slight different body shape and doe not have black line across the eyes.I love this guy have one in my tank. Strawberry Dottyback
YES! Sorry I keep calling him Strawberry because I had one and don't seem to be able the change the name. The fish I changed because yes he was a terrible tank mate!!! Thanks for the correction.This is an Orchid Dottyback, Pseudochromis fridmani. Not strawberry dottyback, Pseudochromis porphyreus.

You are lucky that you have an Orchid. If you truly have a Strawberry you won't like it at all.
A couple years ago I read an article by Mr. Joshi entitled, "Pushing the Boundaries and Breaking the Mold - Plesiops Corallicola - (Bluegill Longfin) and I have to say it has been my favorite fish (I've never owned one but want to). Hopefully I can post the image, with credits, and the article. The color and facial lines are stunning to say the least.
I've not seen them for sale and I do not believe my tank is ready for one let alone if my fish and invert plans would allow one - so I may have to find a similar color scheme and look be it in a Starry Blenny or possible Marine Beta (which again has its own eating habits for what I want to keep). Anyway, this would be my entry.

Image below was one of 3 or 4 in the article and I think it is curtesy of the author Mr. Joshi. I've always wanted to thank him for that simple article because it is what keeps me in the hobby although I may never own one.
