Yep, they are shy. Also I only had use of the camera for a short time, and my fish run from me, until I get face to face with them. It is as if they recognize my face.

I love my fish, especially my lionfish. When I am cleaning the glass, he follows me around, and chases away the other fish. The clown likes to follow my elbow for some reason, pulling on my arm hairs on occasion.

I also have a cleaner shrimp that will climb aboard and "clean" me.

My six-line wrasse plays tag or something with the Blenny. Definitely not an aggressive behavior, no contact has ever been made.

The angels like to play peek-a-boo with me. Every now and again they seem to be auditioning for the track team, they get together and zoom from one side of the tank to the other.

I can't wait to get my 265gallon tank setup and running. I can wait, but the suspense is agonizing......................................... ........

I picked up 2 Queen conchs at my LFS, for 5 US dollars, or approx. 3.5 pounds UK. They have quadrupled in size in the last six months, and can climb any surface in the tank, even glass. I say this because I have been told before that they can't climb glass.....................

This one is for you kim, sorry about the focus, but it was taken 5 minutes ago with a cheap web cam.................
