    Today i saw a fish hiding under a rock hes about 1-2 inches long. He hangs upside down on a rock white with black stripes and looks like on of his back fins have spikes on it.

    Any idea? Salt water reef tank.

    My blue tang disappeared 3 days ago when i added new corals but my tang was like 3.5 inches long so no way he could of eaten him (i hope).

    lol Im sorry but that could be the worst painting of a fish I have ever seen. Sorry... A+ for effort.
    And I still dont have a clue what that could be, maybe somekind of blenny or goby
