Greedy Fish!

[Inedaan]

Here I am about to drop down my Pistol Shrimp a pellet like I do every so often... When all of a sudden like he's been starved for like two months my Damsel comes charging over and steals the piece of food that is WAY too big for his mouth. So I, being amused, decided to get a couple pictures taken. He nursed this piece of food for a good 20 minutes before he decided there was better things to do.

Excuse the unsightly algae, it was quite bad for a while but getting better now :)

What kind of damsel is that? I saw a few in a shop last week and the owner told me but I forget now. I forget what store I was even in. Very attractive fish...is it aggressive like so many damsels are?

It's a Talbot's Damsel... I have two and the bigger one tends to chase the smaller one around a little but nothing to serious as of yet. It is probably just because my Biocube seems to infuse everything that goes into it with a seething hatred for anything else that moves. About a month ago my Pistol Shrimp (Or possibly his Goby friend) murdered a Firefish and buried him halfway in the sand in the main entrance of their Burrow.
