After being thoroughly intimidated by a large Coris wrasse eye-balling me and following me while I was checking out his tank at a new LFS recently, I really got to thinking, "How smart are fish really?". I felt like that fish was basically either trying to intimidate me, "Come at me bro", or trying to figure out if I would feed him haha. (Sidenote: Those teeth on a full grown adult wrasse are impressive! Would hate to be on the receiving end...)
I mean, some fish just to seem to float along and not really "do much", but others really seem to pay attention to you and their surroundings. So did some digging, and found this really neat article that I encourage everyone to read:
