Freshwater Pic of the Day Link,

 

Xyrichthys pavo Valenciennes 1840, Peacock Wrasse. Indo-Pacific; Red Sea, eastern African coast all the way over to the tropical eastern Pacific coast, Hawai'i... To sixteen inches in length. Occasionally offered to the trade as juveniles. Often mistaken for leaf litter in the wild. Feeds on crustaceans, mollusks. Red Sea 08 

Zebrasoma desjardinii ("day-har-din-ee-eye") (Bennett 1835), Desjardin's Sailfin Tang. Seeing this fish and Z. veliferum at the same time might cause you to do a double take; they are very similar in color and markings. Desjardin's Tang comes to the trade mainly from the Indian Ocean or Red Sea. Red Sea 08 
 

"Koi" varieties of Yellow Tangs are known... mostly yellow, orange, white and sometimes black marking mottled... They are beauties... and seem (by me) to be more "intelligent"... definitely harder to photograph than "standard" Z. flavescens.  
 

Zebrasoma gemmatum (Valenciennes 1835), the Spotted Sailfin Tang. Well-named in the vernacular and science; that is, spotted and as rare, beautiful and expensive as a precious stone. This Indian Ocean endemic is rarely imported to the west, and what a shame. It is just as hardy as any of the Zebrasoma and a real beauty. Interzoo 08
