Fiesty Tomato

I have a tomato (TC) which was the first occupant of my tank, recently we got him a long tentacle and he loves it. The funny thing is how adamantly he protects it against us, he never bothers the other fish but if we stick our hands in the tank to clean he instantly attacks us, it is so funny. He has a deformed jaw which makes him look tough, but he isnt. The other day I was cleaning and my hand was barely out of the water, TC (named after the great Tom Chambers) tried to attack me and actually jumped out of the water onto the floor, I quickly scooped him and put him back in the tank. It was hilarious, does anyone else have a crazy tomato like this. You can check him out with his deceased carpet on my picture page.
 
I have a pair of tomatoes that reside in my refugium. I have trained them to eat by hand. I put the cube of food inbetween my fingers and they go at it.
In my reef tank I have a clarkii that will try to attack me when I'm scraping the glass. Feisty little buggers.
