Synchiropus splendidus
fishsaltwater
Arguably the most beautiful fish in the hobby. Requires a mature reef with abundant copepods. Not for beginners. Will starve if not given live food.

Pygoplites diacanthus

Breathtakingly beautiful with alternating white-and-orange bars. Notoriously difficult to feed in captivity. Red Sea specimens generally adapt better than Pacific ones.
