good day but still kinda sad

I know what you mean. I've had several little creatures that had irritating behavoirs I discovered after the fact but I always try and remember they can't help but be what nature made them. It's the only thing that keeps me from flushing them down the toilet. Sometimes it's close, though! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif At the moment, I have a green brittle star that I am almost positive killed two of my fish. Unfortunately, he is faster and stronger than I gave him credit for and haven't seen him since I tried to catch him the first time. I'm sure glad my black saddleback clowns don't bite, the female is big and I can hear her clacking her teeth at the male on occasion!

 

Several years ago I had 3 oscillaris clowns for quite a long time and all of them were fine with me doing maintenance or moving things around in the tank. Eventually one decided to start biting me whenever I stuck my hand in there... within about a week all of them decided to follow this behavior. It's interesting how clowns follow the lead of one another like that. In my current display the clowns never hosted anything (even when I had an RBTA) for about 9 months. Once one of them decided to host my goniopora, the other decided it looked like a wonderful idea as well.
