Would you believe it! my cleaner shrimp! He normal climbs in my hand when I’m gluing a frag, but this time he went up the inside of my wrist and I could actually feel his pinchers plucking my skin, when I finished and drew my had out I had 6 red spots on my wrist which eventually turned into pinhead scabs.
He certainly thought he was doing a good job
 
While not unexpected, my clown used to go to town biting me whenever I'd put my hand near its territory and nem house. Now it knows I'm just there to feed said house some krill, and thus leaves me alone. I call that relationship progress.
 
How often do you feed yours/feed the tank? I am worried I am over-feeding mine..... it has a huge appetite

I feed 4/6 cubes per day. A couple of good pinches of flake per day and Nori every other day. As long as they eat it they can have it. You are right though, the scarus can eat!!! As soon as I open the flake tub he goes mad!
