I moved my first fish for a new 120g system out of quarantine and into the DT over the weekend. One of these fish is a little Tomini tang that is maybe 3" snout to tail. It wasn't in the tank for 30 minutes before it discovered a 30" long pipe I buried in the substrate in anticipation of having a snowflake eel in the future.

I'll see it hanging around a cave of rocks I built around one end, and a couple seconds later it pops out of a similar cave at the other end. If you didn't know the tunnel was there, it would look like the fish is teleporting across the tank.

I've been trying to catch it on video all day but the fish is pretty shy yet. However, I think I hear it saying "Whee!" as it zipps from one end of the tube to the other.
 
Ha! We're gonna need a bigger boat!

The tang won't be able to get into that pipe by the time I get the eel.
I'm glad you got the Jaws reference! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
I've seen tangs squeeze themselves into the darndest places when motivated!
