    Hey Igcognito - great job with your filefish - congrats that is great.

    Recently I saw a wonderful aquarium at the Academy of Sciences out here in San Francisco that had filefish. Local legend Richard Ross put it together. I have attached a pic for you. Check it out sometime.

    Here's a video of NOT normal behaviour. We didn't know if he was showing off for the female or flashing. He would do it only on this single coral branch, which didn't seem like typical flashing behavor at the time. We were wrong.

    Watch the male in the back.... this was Octoberish 2009.
