"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.
