Thanks for the comments, guys!

Jer4916, like mbrands stated earlier, my puffer is not standard behavior. If you have a reef tank, I would not recommend trying it, because they'll usually pick on your inverts.

My LFS only has green LMB's. I put one in my tank to tank care of hair algea. Dosn't eat algea but sure loves the fish food. My cleaner shrimp is always cleaning my LMB but if the clowns feel the antanna of the shrimp the dart ot ouf the way. Hopefully when i get a larger tank with more fish he will clean other fish, he is pretty fun to watch.

Thanks guys!

Hummel, my LMB was the only fish at first to allow the shrimp to clean him. Now, my Flame Angel has started to take advantage of his services as well.
The clowns will not go near him, but I've never heard of clowns getting cleaned by a cleaner shrimp. I guess it's only certain fish.
My LMB also loves the fish food I feed, and doesn't really eat much algae.

The front half of him is a super dark green almost a blackish green color and the back half of him is a light green like the one posted above kinda strange but he is really awsome fish.

Sweet! I just got a cleaner. But he's aways hidding and only comes out at night. I hope he is'nt going to do this for ever. Most I see are out in the open.
