Considering that you can see the water breaking above him, and those almost human eyes..Very skeptical..I would beleive in Nessie before this thing

did you watch the video??? The CNN one is the divers swimming with her where they found her. The deep sea creatures are funny looking. I guess fishermen catch them all the time in their nets but its very rare for them to be seen alive. I have some more sea creatures that i found that are pretty cool as well.

bonita69, where were you when you dove w/the humphead? How often do you think people see them? I might risk peeing myself to see them in the wild. Just kidding, but I think it'd be often to dive w/one. How deep were you?

Truly, not spectacular, but the best fish is the Maroon Clown.
He's personable, large enough to enjoy, and don't take much ---- from others.
Best of all, he's EASY to care for unlike some of those mentioned on this list! That sea horse is probably next to impossible to care for. :notsure:

Guess it depends upon your defintion of "Cool", but I think my pack of 5 blue-green chromis are pretty cool. Watching their color "Change" right before your eyes is fascinating.
Quite entertaining too . . . especially when they do things like swim straight backwards, or zip up and down (Not swimming, they just go up or down helicopter-like without moving their body away from the horizontal). And it only took until the second feeding before they realized that big two-legged pinkskinned thing was responsible for their chow. All I have to do is walk near the tank and they're all zipping around with that "Got some food for us?" look. Pretty smart too, they know when I kill the switch that runs a PH and the skimmer pump, it's DINNER TIME!
Once was looking down into the tank through the bottom of a drinking glass, trying to see down to the bottom in the back, but my view kept getting blocked . . . by a bunch of blue-green blurs.
Blennies are cool too . . . somewhat chameleonish (Our gets lighter colored when he's on the sand, darker when he's working the rock, and even darker when he's going over the back glass with its black background). Put a small piece of algea-sheet in a clip to see if he'd take a bite. Took him forever just to get in the general vicinity of the clip, and then he zipped right by the sheet and instead of eating, decided to perch on the clip. He also cleans the algea off the turbo snail shells . . . I wonder what they're thinking as he rears back and takes a big bite?

My favorites are the Green Mandarin, French Angel, Blue Powder Tang, and of course...Black and White Percula (which is the only thing that I actually own on the list).

Nope thats not it. It kinda looks like a Clown fish, solid black with large white spots. I saw it in an overcrowded tank on Yourtube that was posted here but couldn't find it.
