Tassled Filefish

This is the funniest looking little fish!!
So far he has behaved himself regarding living in the reef tank, time will tell, he still may have been a mistake. But this is the silliest looking fish with the weirdest personality. He let's me "tickle" his tassles...........on top of his head that is

I'm sitting in my office, at my computer, my tank is on my left side, 2 feet away and this little fish is swimming in place staring at me. For about 5 minutes now, weird.

I had one for some time, and he did really well with just eating what I gave him. Peaceful as well. Called him "icky" for some reason. I have only had one though, and some fish species habbits are different from fish to fish. Mine stayed out front 100% of the time which is always a plus.

Sammy, well he is definitely a "keeper".
I decided to name him "Dennis" because of the cowlick(tassles) on top of his head.
He eats everything I put in, brine, mysis, flake, seaweed selects.
The funniest is when he gets caught in the downdraft of the return tube in the tank, he looks like a salmon trying to swim upstream during the flood. Really funny
