    Just out of curiosity, What do you think is the most Overrated or Underrated fish/Invert to keep in terms of difficulty.

    For underrated I would say Cleaner Shrimp; They require precise salt levels and I honestly wouldn't rate them as a beginner invert, But that's just me :)

    My conservative thoughts:
    Blue/Green chromis are underrated: Drop like flies.

    My not so conservative thoughts:
    Tangs are overrated. Much easier to keep than people make out.

    Mandarins are overrated. I'm not saying they're easy, but if you just put them in a large well established tank you shouldn't have too much trouble. However, if you put them in a small tank and plan to feed them pods thats a different story.
