    This guy is so cool. I was changing some rocks around and he was just hanging onto my hand the whole time, checking out my cuticles and whatnot. This guy is super interesting and loves to hang upside down in a larger cave.

    I just wanted to share, I wish I would have gotten him sooner!

    of course, this thread is worthless without pictures, I also know that everyone knows what these guys looks like. But he asked me this morning to take his picture, he's a little bit of a showoff and obviously I'm a little crazy. :eek:

    I think of him as the equivalent to the curiosity of the cat, or the bouncer, cause anything that goes in, he's checking it out! :lol:

    I was feeding the LTA and had a little piece of silverside left over and he climbed up on my hand and helped himself! Then he took it to a cave and finished his meal.

    My skunks always piss me off. Anytime I'm spot feeding corals, they try to steal the food. I know everyone says use a 2 liter bottle. But I'm just gonna build a trap for skunks to hold them til feeding is done. Lol

    My cleaner is awesome to watch at feeding time, he goes like a crazy man. Swims upside down and goes as fast as he can to eat. Makes ya chuckle watching him. He will clean my hand and arms when ever they are in the tank.
    First time he shed I thought he died until he popped up from behind a rock.
