I'm really enjoying my first salt water tank. It's a 20 gallon so I can't have too many fish. I have 2 chromis and 2 clowns. I have 5 turbo snails and 3 nassarius snails. Love the way they pop up out of the sand when it's feeding time. Also a peppermint shrimp. My grand daughter loves the way it sways back and forth on the rocks. But, by far the coolest thing I have in my tank is the serpent star I purchased last weekend. Too bad he seems to hide most of the time. I think it looks like and moves more like an octopus than a star fish. So..what's the coolest thing in your tank ?

I love my serpent star as well but he isn't my favorite. I have a 20 also and my favorite thing in there is definitely my tuxedo urchin! He carries some zoas around like a little hat lol

without a doubt it my dragon wrasse. he has some of the weirdest habits ive ever seen in a fish, which includes doing random flips against the glass, figure 8's around a specific bridge. taking 30 min each night to "make his bed" (grab random lil rocks and toss them furiously all over the place). heres a pic of a dragon wrasse but not mine in particular.

That urchin is badas*! Love his little zoa hat :)

My favorite so far is my fire shrimp. My tank is still very new, but he is pretty cool as far as shrimp go. He isnt much of a hider (yay), and he goes bananas when I put food in the tank! I could watch him for hours :popcorn:
 
That's a hard decision but aside from my fish I would have to say my fav addition is my porcelain crab. He sits there sifting food out of the water until I use my feeding tube at which point he goes crazy, rushes it, grabs ahold, and tries to hang on until he gets his shot of mysis.
