hahah you're welcome.
My friends and I were sitting by the tank one time and I was telling a story and I was watching him and I hit the tank with my hand, and didn't miss a beat. They thought I was sooo terrible, but after I explained he was eating another animal... then it was fine. lol

I bought some new fish today! I got 2 lyretail anthias (females) and a purple tang.... He's a big guy.
Question...
My dwarf pygmy angel is normally fine, but he does not seem to like the anthias. When I put them in the tank, he came up and rubbed all over their bodies and rubbed all over their faces and eyes? what does that mean? Now he is kind of swimming with them and I can't tell if he's being mean or just trying to get aquainted... the Anthias are not liking it though.
Does anyone know about this behavior or what it could mean?
Then anthias are much bigger than the angel, FYI.

I will get some as soon as they came out.
I sent Spanko a PM and asked if he knew, or knew someone who could point me in the right direction.
Also, while I was out, I popped by a book store today and bought some HUGE Marine fish books with lots of info, so hopefully, I can start answering my own questions... :p
I can get a pic of the tang while he acclimated.... the athias, I might be able to get a pic of.... Gosh I can't wait til we get another nice camera!!! XMAS time couldn't come sooner!
