A Tale of the not too bright puffer named spot

[orby]

I was feeding my porcupine puffer named "Spot" just the other day. Krill was on the menu and he was very hungry to say the least. As the food rained down he quickly gobbled up as much as he could acting like its going to be his last meal when he noticed a piece of krill sinking into a large hole in the rock just below him. Like a flash he darted toward it plunging his head into the hole to retrieve the much desired meal. At this point he realized he had a problem. The only way out of the hole was to back out of it since the other end faced the bottom of the tank. He struggled for a bit as his owner freaked out from the other side of the glass. Amazingly as if he knew there was no simple solution to the problem he gave up and sat still with butt up in the air stuck in the hole until his owner laughing at him lifted the rock and he swam out to saftey. I don't know if he ever retrieved the piece of krill or not but needless to say the hole has now been covered and hopefully a lesson was learned. Don't put your fat body where it doesn't fit.

You have to love the puffers. Great story.
I just purchased a sandsifter starfish on friday. I have a flame hawkfish. As everyone knows the hawkfish is always perching himself on everything. He sits on the snails when they are on the glass like they are his chairs. I put the starfish in and the hawk kept watching him. The next morning I got up and went to the tank, the starfish was on the glass and moving on the sand. I sat and watched along with the hawkfish. The starfish moved on to the sand and was gliding accross. Here comes the hawkfish and lands on the starfish. He rode the starfish accross the tank. I had to go wake up husband to see this. He gets on the starfish whenever it is on the sand now. It is too funny. LOL. My husband says that he thinks the hawkfish thinks we bought the starfish for him.
