Acanthastrea
Acanthastrea colonies tend to be thick encrusting or massive and can be found across all reef zones. They are generally uncommon. Underwater, the distinctive features of this genus are the tall spiky toothed septa which can be felt or seen through the thick fleshy tissue, a feature common to all members of the family Mussidae. The corallites can be rounded, angular, and sometimes elongated. Corallites are usually cerioid (common walls) but can sometimes be subplocoid (walls separated to a degree). The fleshy tissue that characterises this genus can often mask the exact nature of the corallite walls.
Albino Corydoras
The Albino Aeneus Cory Cat comes from the tributaries of the Amazon river and is a peaceful bottom dwelling scavenger. The Albino variety is mostly white to pink, and has multiple barbels around the mouth. The Aeneus Cory Cat requires a well planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places that provide relief from the light. A smooth sand or gravel substrate is needed because of the easily damaged barbels. They enjoy being in numbers, so a small school of six or more is ideal for these cats.
Asfur Angel
The largest scientifically measured Asfur Angelfish was 40.0 cm / 15.7 in.
Juvenile specimens have blue bodies decorated with light-blue and white stripes. They can be confused with Koran Angelfish (Pomacanthus koran), but the Asfur Angelfish features three (predominantly) white bars. As the juvenile ages, it will develop yellow markings on its dorsal fin and the caudal fin will also turn yellow.
Bicolor Parrotfish
It is among the largest parrotfishes, growing to a length of up to 35 in (35 in). As in many of its relatives, it is a sequential hermaphrodite, starting as female (known as the initial phase) and then changing to male (the terminal phase). The initial phase is dark brown with a large cream patch on the upper part of the body. The terminal phase is very colorful, overall green with pink spotting to the body and edging to the fins. Juveniles are white with a black spot on the dorsal fin and an orange band through the eye.
Bird Mouth Wrasse
Most unique aspect about the Bird Wrasse is its elongated beak which is used to catch long, skinny prey and hold it captive while breaking it up into bite-size pieces. The female is brownish black, and the male is variations of green. For this reason, the male is often called the Green Bird Wrasse, and the female, the Black or Brown Bird Wrasse.
Blacktip Shark
The blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae. It is common to coastal tropical and subtropical waters around the world, including brackish habitats. The blacktip shark has a robust, streamlined body with a long, pointed snout and relatively small eyes.
Blue Diamond Discus
The Blue Diamond Discus has been selectively bred for its brilliant blue coloration. It’s distinguishing feature is the small white markings on it’s body. However, the overall coloration of Discus will vary depending on mood and overall health of the fish. The Discus has surpassed the Angelfish as the most popular freshwater aquarium fish. Depending on sub-species, the natural range of the Discus extends from the Amazon to the Rio Negro Regions of South America.Remove term: Blue Diamond Discus
Blue Discus
The Neon Blue Discus, also known as the Cobalt Blue Discus, is a brilliant sky blue. The overall coloration of Discus will vary depending on mood and overall health of the fish. The Discus has surpassed the Angelfish as the most popular freshwater aquarium fish. Depending on sub-species, the natural range of the Discus extends from the Amazon to the Rio Negro Regions of South America.
Blue Gourami
The Blue Gourami is also known as the Three-Spot Gourami. This gourami is a rather peaceful fish that is very comical to watch as a juvenile. The Blue Gourami has only two spots, one in the center of the body, and a second at the beginning of the tail. The eye is actually the third “spot” that is referred to in the name. Traditionally silvery blue in color, their colors can change significantly with their moods, as well as during spawning, when they obtain a much deeper blue hue. Blue Gouramis are considered Labyrinth Fish, meaning they breathe directly from the air and should have access to the surface of the aquarium.
Comet
Scientific Name: Calloplesiops altivelis; The marine comet (also known as the “marine betta”) is an absolutely stunning fish and makes a wonderful addition to any marine tank where the fish are not too aggressive. When the fish completely spreads its fins, it appears to be many times its actual size. At the rear base of the dorsal fin there is a false “eyespot,” called an ocellus.
Dendronephthya/Frogspawn
The Frogspawn Coral is a large polyp stony coral (LPS) often referred to as the Wall, Octopus, Grape, or Honey Coral. Its polyps remain visible throughout both the day and night, resembling a mass of fish eggs or frog eggs, hence one of its common names Frogspawn. Its coloration is green or brown to tan in color. With its appearance and coloration it would make a nice addition to any reef aquarium. During the evenings, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to six inches beyond its base into the reef aquarium surroundings. It will sting other neighboring corals in the reef aquarium, therefore, it is best to leave plenty of room between itself and other types of corals.
Long Tentacle Anemone

Red Tiger Oscar
Oscars move with a slow, majestic appearance, but they can be quite destructive to their surroundings, as they tend to uproot plants, and move other objects in their tanks. They are a very peaceful fish among others of similar size, but will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouths, and can quite easily be trained to eat from their owner’s hand. Oscars will frequently fight vigorously with each other, which leads to much chasing and splashing, although they typically do not hurt each other. Oscars are best kept in a 200L tank with a medium textured substrate. It is also recommended to place oscars only with larger fish since they have been known to eat smaller fish that are introduced into their environment. An intelligent fish, if the oscar is raised with a set of fish, it will tend to leave them alone, but will attack newly introduced fish, even if they are of a similar size and species, as ones already there.
Ricordea Florida
The Frogspawn Coral is a large polyp stony coral (LPS) often referred to as the Wall, Octopus, Grape, or Honey Coral. Its polyps remain visible throughout both the day and night, resembling a mass of fish eggs or frog eggs, hence one of its common names Frogspawn. Its coloration is green or brown to tan in color.

Sea Fan
Sea Fans are similar to soft corals, however, they anchor themselves in mud or sand instead of attaching themselves to hard substrates. Some Sea Fans require up to 8 inches of sand. Most Sea Fans are nocturnal, only extending their polyps during the nighttime hours. They consume plankton and require strong currents to carry their food.
