The species exhibits marked ontogenetic dimorphism. Juveniles are bright red with white spots, while adults acquire a blue-green pattern with orange tones and black spots on the dorsal and caudal fins. Widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific, it lives in coral reefs, usually in lagoons and protected outer areas, between 1 and 50 m deep. It prefers sandy bottoms where it can burrow to sleep or protect itself. Carnivorous, it feeds on benthic invertebrates, especially mollusks, crustaceans, and echinoderms, which it locates by stirring up the substrate. Like many wrasse, it is protogynous hermaphroditic; individuals are initially female, and some transform into males, which are larger and more intensely colored. Reproduction is external, with eggs and sperm released into the water column. Suitable for aquariums of 600 liters or more, as it can exceed 35 cm as an adult and is very active. It requires a deep (8\u201310 cm) fine sand substrate to bury itself when sleeping or in danger. Without sand, it suffers stress and injury. Somewhat territorial behavior, can be aggressive towards small fish and very predatory towards invertebrates, not compatible with certain invertebrates (snails, crabs, shrimp). Adapts well to varied frozen food (mussels, krill, shrimp, squid). Sensitive to transport and delicate acclimatization. Sensitive to transport and delicate acclimatization. Aquarium with secure lid, as they are excellent jumpers.

It is characterized by its whitish body with orange or reddish-brown oblique stripes. It has a territorial and secretive behavior. It is well known for its symbiosis with shrimp of the genus Alpheus, known as pistol shrimp (in the photo a specimen can be seen just behind the caudal a.). The shrimp digs and maintains a subway burrow that serves as a shelter for both species. Because of its poor vision, the Alpheus depends on the goby to detect dangers, while the goby benefits from the safe haven. The goby maintains constant contact with the shrimp by means of its caudal fin or body, alerting it to any threat by rapid movements. In the aquarium, A. diagonalis behaves peacefully, although it can be territorial with other similar gobies. Aquarium of a minimum of 80 liters, with a wide base that allows to establish a deep sandy area (5-7 cm) where it can burrow or share burrow with an Alpheus shrimp, if you want to promote symbiosis. It accepts well frozen food such as Mysis, Artemia and other small crustaceans. It can also adapt to good quality dry food. It should not be kept with aggressive or very active fish that intimidate it.

Like most garden eels, it inhabits sandy bottoms from 10 m depth and beyond 50 m, always in areas with moderate or strong currents. Each individual occupies a burrow-like hole and can form large colonies of several hundred individuals. During the day they catch the planktonic food that the current drags in the water column to their burrows. Only recently have data on the reproduction of this type of eel (G. preclara) been revealed. Courtship and spawning take place at night, during which one or more males court the same female from their orifices with characteristic movements, until finally one of the males and the female ascend in the water column while expelling eggs and sperm, in just a few seconds. In the aquarium they need sandy and spacious bottoms, because although they are not aggressive with each other, they need a minimum distance between burrows to avoid tensions. They are shy and therefore candidates for a specific aquarium where they can be fed in small quantities and frequently with several types of live and frozen zooplankton without competition from other more lively species.

This chaetodontid is a widespread inhabitant of the Caribbean Sea, often found in shallow reef waters between 2 and 20 metres. It forms stable pairs that roam the reef feeding mainly on coral polyps, polychaete worms and tunicates. Juveniles may be seen in small groups in Thalassia seagrass beds. Its maintenance in the aquarium must mainly take into account two aspects, its corallivorous feeding behaviour and its tireless swimming condition. The first aspect does not make it very compatible with aquariums oriented to the maintenance of corals and the second makes it compatible only with spacious aquariums of more than 500 litres. Otherwise, it is a hardy species with a less elusive behaviour than other species of the same genus.

Like most cephalopods, it has the ability to change color instantly, both to camouflage itself by blending in with the bottom on which it is found, and to express different states of mind. On the other hand, their ability to bury themselves in the sand in a matter of seconds is notorious, and it is frankly amusing to observe how, once completely buried (except for the eyes that usually protrude slightly), they take out two of their tentacles and with them they place the sand in order to erase any trace of their presence.

In the aquarium, on the contrary, it is precisely their food, which compromises their health, together with the quality of the environment and space. In recent years, some preparations with specific formulations have improved their longevity in captivity. It is not a species that must be acquired without a firm purpose to attend it properly.

The lionfish is a beautiful venomous species, which finds its natural habitat \r\nin the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean and the western region of the Pacific Ocean. It is distributed \r\nbathymetrically between 10 and 150 meters. It is a large predator on the prowl, its prey are mainly other \r\nsmaller fish, but also some crustaceans. With crepuscular habits, it is most active at dawn and dusk. Its \r\nvenom is located in the hollow spines of its dorsal fin, which in turn are connected to glands that produce \r\nneurotoxic venom. They are very prolific fish. A single female can lay around 15,000 eggs every few days for \r\nseveral months of the year. Due to its spectacular aesthetics, it has been for many years one of the most \r\npopular species in aquarium keeping. Currently, it is the only species of the family whose commercialization \r\nis prohibited in Spain. In the rest of Europe its commercialization is still allowed. Since the beginning of the \r\n90&#039;s it has been invading the waters of the Caribbean Sea and on the other hand, it seems that also the \r\nMediterranean Sea is already in danger, due to the fact that specimens that have crossed the Suez Canal \r\nfrom the Red Sea are already appearing in its waters.

This beautiful polychaete worm is widely distributed in the Caribbean Sea. Like many other species of the same family, it protects its body by covering it with a soft tube of about 4 to 5 cm that it produces by secretions and that is fixed to the substrate in a consistent way. When it is projected outwards, its segmented body and the head provided with 18 to 20 branches that make up its striking &quot;duster&quot;, by which it catches the particles it feeds on, mainly micro-plankton, can be seen. The mouth is located in the center of the crown. The species has a wide chromatic diversity, although all specimens in a colony are the same color. Very sensitive to small vibrations, it is not easy to get close to observe them without being detected. It lives in groups, at depths of up to 30 meters, usually in waters with strong currents. It is described as a protandric hermaphrodite species. It can coexist in an aquarium with invertebrates and\/or pacific fish species such as seahorses or marlin. Food, based on organic particles or plankton, can be provided in its vicinity with a syringe. The loss of the tube or part of its branches is a clear symptom of inappropriate maintenance conditions.
