well there is lots of behaviar. mine usually goes around sometimes hunting for food, plays in the flow at the powerhead, jumps into the area where the filter drops water in, goes back to his favorite blue plant and rests. then does it all over again
Thats kinda like what mine does, play hunt rest play hunt rest Everytime i walk in and hes sitting there i get worried cuz i'm so used to a fish not swimming being bad, but once he sees me he starts swimming.

Lots of hunting, staring into rocks and crannys. They will snick up any bug that they can find. Hitches when not hunting. Will "visit" with you, just in case you have a shrimp or two..
Some free time swimming.

tried to get a better pic, and failed, heres one though. Also i noticed a few white things on him. They are long and thin, any ideas? You can kinda see them in the pic.(theres one on his anal fin) Weird he was at the LFS for 2 weeks wasn't expecting parasites.
Actually that photo is good. The coronet is backswept (a kuda trait) and the spines are not pronounced (another kuda trait). It is a process of elimination/comparison.
I still am not convinced she is a she. Time will out.
She is a doll. And if she is snicking often, it's a good sign. There is life in our tanks that only some amazing eyes like hers/his can watch.
Thanks for letting us all join in the fun!
Name yet?

I was thinking maybe finny or horsey,
I don't know if i can name him or her til i no if it's a him or her. I am slowly lowering the temp a tad as zeke suggested, if the white stuff remains do you think i should give him a FW or table salt dip? Anyone know what the white stuff is? I think the thing that make SH's so "personal" is the fact that they can move their eyes to look at you. How much/often do you people feed your SH? I've been giving mine a piece or two every time i see it swimming while i'm home.

I have a few sea squirts (for lack of more scientific names) that release some stringy stuff. Does the white stuff move on its own?

The LFS said they should be getting SH's and clown gobies tomorrow, Not gonna add anything yet but i'd like to reserve another SH ill probably have em hold it for a week to make sure its healthy and eating frozen. wish i knew to reserve boy or girl, not that i could tell anyway. Hope the white stuff goes away after lowering temp
