***Crazy, had to share!***

I've got a dispar anthias that has made her way into my overflow box a couple times. I have the weir covered in a netting and still made it over. She went a couple days in there one time. But has been about a month since the last incident and is doing just fine.

good for you. My clown cuddles in the palm of my hand. Of course she never does it when i have people over. In fact, all 4 of my fish hide if there are people here.

lol xd

The SnowFlake clown is funny. She pokes her head out of the water to say hi but she splashes me when I stick my hand in the display. She's done it so fast a couple of times she's flown out! She's crazy!

So, in times past(at least three) my snowflake clown some how jumps into my overflow bow where I spend 30-45 trying to fish her out. It's a horrible and scary task where I fear I'll kill her due to stress or suck her down the drain.

Last night she did it again. Crap, not this again! I grab my stepping stool climb up with my flashlight and net to start the task at hand. I scoop to this side and scoop to that side, like always no luck. I have an idea, I'll try and round her with my hand into the net. I try this three times. Here's where it get super freaking cool.

On the forth attempt I say screw the net, I'm just gonna grab her. I try twice and then on the third attempt she goes limp, lays sideways and just let's me pick her up with my hand!
HOLY CRAP I'M FREAKING OUT! I thought she was dying from stress! I had no idea how long she was back there so I was really concerned.

I placed her gently back in the display and she swam off immediately as if nothing had happened! She was fine. The crazy fish just trusted me, Wow!

I just had to share.

Fish on,

I totally forgot about this. That was awesome!! (...or like someone mentioned, likely a defense mechanism, but still, it "seemed" like trust at the time. Lol
