Very cool. My foxface lets me hand feed him, but his spines would keep him from swimming through my hand!!! Nice pic.

Yeah, it's been doing this for some time now and I figured it was time to catch a photo of it . It seems to have not much fear .
I caught it in a local inlet on a fish rod a year and a half ago, it was tiny.

naser, I was looking for something native of the area when I caught it. I usually don't add much to the tanks as far as fish go . That was the lasyt one I added to the system.

North ,
Thanks, and yes I hand feed them all and they all rub against the TINE UNGUUM.

Reinhold I should have cleaned the thumb nail before photo hey !!! No TINE UNGUUM HERE Just old workmans hands:

Northern,
I guess it's because I've had them several years and they know I'm not going to harm them.
The only one that doesn't eat out of hand is the yellow. Actually he has only done it a couple times but lately he is getting right in there at feeding time.


Organic,
The grunt was a juvenile when I caught it so I figure it doesn't know fear like it would if it were in the wild.

I've got a Royal Gramma that doesn't come close
