In the past, I have had two yellow tangs at different times. Both were very shy and only came out of they thought I wasn't near the tank.
Fast forward a few years (okay, maybe 10 or 15 of them
)....now I have a very large, very outgoing yellow tang that will actually swim up as I am trying to hand-feed my inverts and snatch the food from my fingers. If it weren't frustrating it would be pretty comical!
If I am looking in the tank at something, he blocks my view because he is swimming right in front of my face, almost like, "Look at me! Look at me!" He has a Cortez angel as a tankmate who is he very competitive with for food.
Is he an oddity or were my first tangs just very shy? I was just wondering if other member's yellows were the same as mine.
