Uncle Pug:Yesterday OE2X and I harassed a cabezon until it was frantic. I was taking pictures from one side and OE2X was taking pictures from the other. The cabby didn't know which way to turn. It was great... payback!
Normally I would never want to stress a critter but at this *un-named* dive site the cabezon are particularly agressive and well... "He needed killin', officer." Though in this case we didn't kill him.. we just shot him a bunch of times.
Damselfish are irresistable. Most aggressive little fish I've ever seen... and the only fish that's ever bitten me on a dive (I was begging for it though). I'm glad they don't get bigger. LOLkabluton:I agree! Getting those little buggers to nip at you is a blast.

:11: Heh..awap:I try to harm the environment but but don't mind the occasional harmless interaction.
awap:Do you think there is any stress involved in this for the fish? Perhaps divers who are really serious about not stressing wildlife shoud avoid areas inhabited by such species.

Edit: it was just one word!
