Anyone ever tried "petting" thier fish?

K...now I know people will think this is crazy; but, my "yellow" tang" has taken to being petted...(scratched/rubbed) with my feeding wand! Everytime I put the wand in the tank to feed some silversides to my brain, plate, and bubble, she/he comes up and stops wanting me to rub her/his side with the wand! I've never seen this happen in saltwater! I did have a huge "black mor" that used to let me scratch his belly but that was a long time ago!

I think the tang is in "love" or just in need of some good ol fashion attention. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Yes; the tang comes every single time I put the wand in the water! My wife has started asking me to just put the wand in to see if he comes. Yep; even empty; he's ready for a "belly rub"!

my clown nibbles on my finger if I hold it right above the water. She pokes her head out at me whenever I an near the tank.
