It seems like everytime I scrape the algae off my glass, the fish chase and eat the algae that's floating. It's kind of neat to watch. The tangs, Chromis, Damsels, and Clowns all chase and eat it.

I'm curious, do your fish do similar or have any other funny habits?

My Cleaner Goby rides my hand while I'm scraping the glass and watches everyone else chase the algae.

Thats so cute!! I have a magnetic scraper since I have two maroons in that tank and a very curious and friendly lionfish that loves to swim around my hand!
 
My fish chase poop when another fish "releases" it. . .

If they think it's feeding time they will chase just about anything haha

As far as cute behaviors I enjoy: cleaner goby cleaning my hand, peppermint shrimp desperately trying to clean under my fingernails, barnacle blenny doing anything, male damsel trying to kill my hand when I am near his eggs. . .
 
My fish all try to snag some of the algae when I scrape it off, but the clowns try to eat the film algae off the glass like a lawnmower blenny.
My yellow assessor has learnt how to TAKE POOP from the clownfish before they release the poop. It's not a fun thing to think about, but it is a 'funny habit'...
