No I meant I'm looking for a hawkfish. I like how they just sit and watch for food all day :)

LOL, I need to go to bed apparently.

I have a longnose hawk, he is a cool creature for sure.

Not as cool as my Blackfin Soapfish (the mighty hunter of dead mysis), but pretty cool indeed.

Haha it's ok I think it's also the way I typed it out too. I'll check those fish out too. I just like how thy just "sit" and wait for the food to come!

The soapfish isn't a "sitter". He's a hider and waiter. He cracks me up tho, he will stalk the mysis when I feed, as if they can run away (this is FROZEN mysis).. He will sneak around the rocks, find a good spot, then...............POUNCE! I call him "skunk" because he has a white stripe up his face.

Most personable critter I own is my cowfish that I got from Ace. But he is not reef safe in the least. He will also leave little hickey marks on your arms when he bites. Ornery dude. My lion is quite personable too, but he will eat the reef inhabitants. Pig.
