"My Attacker"

        These fish are very territorial.  On my second dive we found an anemone and these 2 cool looking anemone fish.  It didn't take long to figure out that these fish were very aggressive.  One of my buddies started to dangle something yellow in front of the fish.  The fish would attack it like a bull to a red sheet.  We decided to leave the fish alone and move on.  As I began to swim away, the fish came towards me, (without even thinking....) I stuck my finger out at him.  Before I knew what was going on he had a hold of my glove and was yanking on it as hard as he could.  He let go after a second.  I was so caught off guard that I pushed away from him.  It took me a second to realize that something this small couldn't really do much harm.  I looked up to find my dive buddy, he was laughing so hard he was having trouble keeping his regulator in.  It's definitely been one of the strangest/funniest dive experiences I've had yet.
