It is not hard to see why they are so popular for aquarium hobbyists and displayed in some of the most beautiful saltwater aquariums around the world. With up to 20, known species it can be hard to choose a favourite; here we have a diverse list of some of our personal favourite marine fish.

Blue spot Jawfish Opistognathus rosenblatti. This beautiful Jawfish is native to the Gulf of California, they inhabit slightly cooler waters than most popular marine fish. Bright blue spots run the length of the body, these are often fluorescent in colour. Blue Spot Jawfish like most Jawfish create a burrow in the sand, in which they will sit with their head slightly exposed, they will open their mouths wide as a threat to any fish passing by and waiting for food to pass.

They can be a fun fish to observe with their comical mouth warning which is common of jawfish and their excessive need to have a tidy burrow, often moving things around and re-arranging the surrounding sand. Coral Beauty Centropyge bispinosa. This Angel can vary in colour, often due to the location or depth that the specimen was collected. They typically display an orange belly, with deep purple or blue edges and stripes. They are suitable for beginners and are highly compatible with most other reef fish.

Copperband Butterfly Chelmon rostratus. The Copperband Butterflyfish can be found across Indonesia and Australia. This beautiful butterflyfish has a long narrow nose and orange vertical stripes with a large black circle on the dorsal.

They enjoy grazing on the rocks, using their pointed nose to reach into tiny holes and hard to reach areas. Be warned, like most butterflyfish, Copperbands may nibble at inverts and corals.

Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse Paracheilinus carpenteri. This Wrasse is one of the most popular Wrasse species in the marine aquarium trade; they are generally reef safe and will not bother inverts. This stunning Flasher Wrasse is deep orange in colour; the belly is white in colour with purple and blue lines throughout the body. Queen Angel Holacanthus ciliaris. The Queen Angelfish is a stunning fish; these exquisite angelfish can be found off the coast of Florida, Brazil, the Bahamas and off the Gulf of Mexico.

The queen angel is blue with yellow scales and a bright yellow tail, they display a black circle on the forehead edges with blue. As juveniles the Queen Angelfish look quite different, they have a blue body with brighter blue vertical stripes, this act as a camouflage in the reef. Due to their large size and aggressive nature, these fish are recommended for the experienced marine fish keeper only. Wreck Fish Pseudanthias squamipinnis. This species is sexually dimorphic, in that the male and female of this species look different.

• Associated Data;
• Balistes vetula.
• Testing animal-assisted cleaning prior to transplantation in coral reef restoration;

The males can reach 15cm in size and the females 7cm. Females will change to male if no male is present. The Wreckfish is a schooling species so should be kept in a group of at least individuals, with only one male present to avoid territorial behaviour. Clown Triggerfish Balistoides conspicillum. This fish can reach a size of 50cm and is suited to a predator tank only; they have very sharp teeth and will predate small fish and inverts.

As with all triggerfish, the clown trigger has a dorsal spine, which can be erected to prevent it being pulled out of its refuge by predators or used to scare off any competition. Triggerfish are highly intelligent and develop comical personalities when in the home aquarium, making them a great fish for experienced marine fish keepers.

Antennata lionfish Pterois antennata. This species has red, white and black vertical stripes along its body. Like other Lionfish species, they have beautifully fanned fins, lined with venomous spines. Due to their venomous and predatory nature, these fish should only be kept by the very experienced marine fish keeper. Achilles Tang Acanthurus Achilles.

The Achilles tang or Achilles surgeonfish is native to the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the more difficult marine species to keep due to their complex diet and so is recommended for experienced keepers only. Mandarin Dragonet Synchiropus splendidus. The Mandarinfish belongs to the Dragonet family and is native to the Pacific Ocean region. These fish are vivid in colour, making them a popular choice for saltwater aquarium hobbyists. These fish are blue, green, orange and red in colour, it will be rare to find two the same as they all tend to differ in colour and pattern making each one quite unique.

They cling to the rocks with their pectorals while hunting tiny inverts for food. These fish can be quite tough to get feeding, they do much better if a natural food source is available in the rocks they hunt, and because of this, they require a well-established aquarium. Harlequin Tusk Choerodon fasciatus.

The Harlequin Tusk fish is native to the Western Pacific Ocean and is one of the rarer fishes to the marine aquarium trade. These beautiful fish have large white stripes against a contrasting bright red body, these stripes are edged with a bright blue giving a striking appearance.

Due to their size and generally aggressive nature, these fish are not suited to the general community marine aquarium and should be kept with other semi-aggressive fish. They prefer a habitat with lots of rocks to hide and dart between. My Account Register Sign in. Same Day Despatch before 3pm.

Assuming that these forage and communicate over short distances, the pattern is consistent with the idea that red fluorescence is associated with short-range vision measured in centimeters rather than meters.

Such an effect is less likely for yellow or green fluorescence e. Assuming a function in vision as well, we would predict their prevalence to be independent of body size. For example, the bright yellow tails of some tropical fusiliers e.

We could not confirm that species inhabiting greater depths are more likely to express red fluorescence and can think of four non-exclusive explanations. First, light environments poor in long wavelength light are also abundant in shallow water, for example in shaded areas, in turbid water, or at dusk and dawn. Hence, with depth representing just one of several factors favoring red fluorescence, our analysis of gross depth may easily fail to detect this association. Consistent with this idea, the triplefin T. Second, maximum depths reported in the literature may be rather inaccurate cf. Bridge et al.

Given substantial within-species, depth-associated variation in fluorescence Meadows et al. Finally, the benefits of expressing fluorescence may be limited to intermediate depths e. This may be further complicated by the fact that fish may inhabit very different habitats or depths depending on age or season.

As for now, however, there is too little information to take such non-linear depth effects into account.
