A little personality goes a long way in a saltwater aquarium—and this week’s arrivals at Elegant Reef have plenty.
From the bold purple of a Blackcap Basslet to the curious face of a Tailspot Blenny, our latest shipment brings some beautiful possibilities for your next addition.
Fish Worth a Closer Look
The Blackcap Basslet ($165) is a standout this week, alongside Solarensis Fairy Wrasses ($99) and a female Blue Margin Fairy Wrasse ($165).
Prefer something smaller with plenty of character? Take a look at our Tailspot Blennies ($45), Hi-Fin Banded Gobies ($45), and tank-raised Neon Dottybacks ($45). We also have Lawnmower Blennies, Banggai Cardinals, and Pink/Blue Watchman Gobies.
Interesting Invertebrates & Everyday Essentials
Pom Pom Crabs ($45) bring something a little unusual to the selection, while our snail arrivals offer practical options for suitable aquariums:
• Ninja Star Astrea Snails — $3.49
• Large Nassarius Snails — $4.49
• Red Banded Trochus Snails — $4.99
Choosing the right animal matters as much as choosing one you love. Tell us about your aquarium, its inhabitants, and how long it’s been established so we can help you find a suitable match.
