I have a sailfin tang I'm guessing around 4 years of age, and he photo bombs all my photos.Every time I have my phone near my tank he will always fallow my phone. Everytime I'm doing maintenance in my tank he swims right by my hand the whole time without leaving my site, Not to mention I have to feed him by hand if I don't he will go nuts until I do. He has such a unique personality from my other fish I don't know if it's because I had him through all 2 crashes of my new 55 gallon or he's just one unique Sailfin Tang I couldn't have gotten luckier

Oh man, I can't even begin to pick. I am spoiled in that I love most of my fish and selected my favorites for my various tanks (see my signature).

I guess my idol is really cool because of how hard they are to keep

Whitetail Bristletooth-always picking on rocks & cruising the tank. Hits Nori clip when I approach tank.​
Pixy Hawkfish - catches pellets from my hand and will shimmy up to my finger to nestle against it
Love your sailfin tang.
Is that a Valentini puffer or a Mimic Saddle Puffer (filefish) in your tank? I can't see the dorsal find well enough to tell.

Not hard to see why they're favored fish!

I've a particular fondness for my orange-back and Naoko's wrasses (though I love the other two as well!), the stately grace of my yellow watchman, and the bold confidence of the way my kole tang moves through the water. Both of the blennies are utterly charming, even though the starry is almost always nearly black and the midas can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. Absolutely adore the brilliant blue-and-yellow flash of the azure damsels, but hate their attitude toward new fish - for some unknown reason, the Naoko's espcially.

A week or two back, a perceptive young man told me that I must never say aloud "That one's my favorite", as that would be the next one targeted by disease, or the next one to find a hole in the top of the tank or . . .

P.S. - Kaysneezye, that orange coral your regal is swimming over, is that a setosa? It's pretty cool-looking!
