    Wow! LOVE the coloration, he's beautiful! It's too bad so many people are scared of these animals.. When they catch them in their tanks they usually just kill them :(. Glad you went to your LFS looking to save one, they are smarter than the average dog or cat IMO :)

    He's actually a combination of Bo Jackson (Auburn Heisman trophy winner), Bo Diddley, and Bocephus....officially Bocephus P. Diddley, but Bo for short. I put the "P" in there because I liked the way it sounded together! ;D

    A few more pictures:

    The brain coral has never looked better since it "moved in" with Bo. To give an idea on the size, it's about 3.5 inches in diameter.

    I have to change my shutter speed to capture speedy Bo, so the brain doesn't look so hot here - but gives something size-wise to compare to.

    Bo attacking the Mag-Float. I had it over in the corner, and well, he didn't like it there...
