I caught the thief terrorizing our wrasse!

[Arego]

I've never managed to get it on camera, it's an elusive beast to say the least, a thief of the highest order.

Upon big wrasse feeding time today he has struck again, attacking wrasse 5x bigger than he is, blatantly robbing right from their mouths for their shrimp and dignity.

I caught em, red finnded.. Photographic and video evidence. If you have one of these fish I suggest you watch out the next time you stick your hand in the water, they're vicious..

very surprising culprit but they are a goby and you never know with them

I've never seen him eat mysis of any size nevermind a chunk of shrimp larger than his head. It's only when I see a bunch of wrasse trying to frantically get to something they just can't, and now I see what was causing the frenzy under rocks.

Pretty neat, I see exactly how he lost his right eye now, if he's not careful the other eye is gonna be a wrasse snack too.
