What fish do you have that makes you laugh, scratch your head and wonder why the most? This is mine....my Long Nose Hawkfish, looking for the most unusual perch he can find. Corals, frag rack, rock just won't do. He has to pick the unusual, like this snail.

This one by far. He is incredibly naughty. He will eat some of my corals and always looking to get into something he shouldn't. He's also incredibly friendly to his tank mates and loves to socialize.

Awesome fish once you get over the damage he does.

My blue tang Bandit! This dude seems to think my arrow crab is a cleaner shrimp. He keeps going at her trying to get past her legs. The arrow crab is currently pregnant so shes more irritable than usual and literally punches Bandit with six of her legs at a time to shoo him off but he keeps at it! Strange fish

My Niger Trigger. I have him in his own tank for now. It took many months for him to come out of his shell, now as soon as I walk into the room he became like a dog. I can pet him, he will come to my hand and eat out of it. I will be sitting in the chair in the fish room and he will be at my shoulder as the chair sits along side that tank.
