Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

very cool. However; from my understanding - the clown trigger has the ability to chomp your finger clean off. But, I could be wrong.

We like putting our hand in and letting the cleaner shrimp tickle and clean, but that's about the extent of it.

My lawnmower Blennie will occasionally rest in my hand but my hand has to be in the tank for 5 mins or more its pretty cool when it does rest there though

Doug likes to pet tangs. He's done that with a few different unicorn tangs that were at the stores he's worked in/at and he also petted Zeus a Titan trigger that live in a rock bin. Doug's also petted my blonde naso tang. He is braver then me in that aspect
