    Mine are absolutely thrilled to try to catch them. (Who knows, maybe one day that darn glass will be gone! I'm pretty sure that's what they think.);) You're in for a treat if you ever get a cleaner shrimp like mine. That's one funny staring contest there. (Shrimp always wins:laughings)

    Well we'll ignore that and inform you of anything for the present and future.:)

    And I meant I hadn't heard of a yellow tail being mellow. I'm very familiar with those demon spawn.....I mean damsels.:)

    You're lucky. This one chews hoses, and I found a golfish on the floor, and I'm pretty sure it didn't jump out. I also had a bamboo growing in that tank, the cat chewed it off.

    That darn cat (called Pumpkin) also ate my mangrove the first night I had it in my salt, ripped it out of the tank. I just wiped everything down with hotsauce and that fixed it.

    My Velvet damsel (Grettal) comes and gives me kisses when I feed them. Great little demons. The yellowtail is shy, and doesn't bother anything. And doesn't seem to be intimidated by the bigger tankmate either.

    They are both so accomodating to new additions also. I added a turbo snail awhile back, and they both came and welcomed it, fanned the snail to circulate the water for it. Now is that considerate or what? :laughy:

    So how did it work out with the clown and the eel?

    I have been looking to see what a snowflake adult damsel looks like. I hear quite elegant, white with black edged scales. And I hear up to 5" long as an adult.
