Why We Like It:

A jewel of the deep, the Neon Pygmy Basslet boasts vivid orange and violet striping that glows under reef lighting. Shy but completely reef-safe, it prefers plenty of rockwork to dart between. Rare, expensive, and absolutely stunning—this is a collector’s dream fish for refined reef setups.
