Just thought I'd share some pics of my girl. She eats like crazy! Mysis, pellets, even nori from time to time. She's a beautiful fish and she's out and about all day. The best part is she'll pose for photos. The last one shows how thick she is. Just snapped these with my iPhone.

Yep she buries every night.

She hid for weeks only saw her a couple times, once she came out she ate everything I put in the tank.

Beautiful fish!

Where'd you acquire it? How big is your tank? I've been contemplating one for a while now so I'm interested in your experience so far :)

I bought her at my local fish store a little over a year ago. I have a 45g cube. I've got a good bit of rock work for refuge and pod hunting. She really is a great fish. Even did well when I moved this summer. As far as I know she's never tried to jump either. I used to have a glass top on the the tank but I took it off about 5 months ago. She's the biggest fish in the tank at 3.5 inches, and all my fish are non aggressive.
