I can't wait to see Burt! That is my absolute favorite fish. They mesmerized me while diving.
The only fish to ever bite me back in my Navy diving days was a big ol Queen trigger. Took a chunk of skin and hair from the back of my skull. Every time I see a Trigger now, I think "I owe you one..."

Yep. Startled me to say the least, knocked my mask off... after clearing the mask to see what the heck sucker punched me from behind, I see this very ticked off Queen staring me down. I must have been near her nest (do Triggers nest??) or newborns or something. It didn't hurt till I climbed back on the boat. Then, OUCH!

Got some video of Burt but did a knucklehead move and deleted it. He is back in hiding since the sailfin was to show who's boss:eek::D

Reshot some pictures and video and will see if the tank calms down and Burt comes out again.

Here is a good shot of a blue yamma

Burt, Alert;);)

Still kicking and coming out of the corner more, eating well thing evening. The tangs are still trying to establish dominance of the tank, but everyone else could care less:D

Well,
Tangs, are tangs :)

Can't wait to see Burt in your display, but figure your waiting for him to feel comfortable.

Wow your sailfin is mean! Lol

She is much better after a week, I would say she did not like the introduction of Burt on her turf. I will shoot a short update tomorrow with the kids playing nicer than last week;) Thank you for stopping by:)
