Seargant Major

Anyone keep seargant majors? And are they as aggressive in a aquarium as I've read about?

Beautiful fish IMO, but yeah they are pretty aggressive. They get kind of big too.

I was on my honeymoon back in 2010 and my wife and I decided to snorkel. This was in Bermuda, let me tell you those Sgt Major fish have no fear. They try to pick at your body hair while in a large school. It was pretty cool, but my wife wasn’t too thrilled.

They seem to be everywhere! I've seen them on dives all over the Caribbean, Belize, Cozumel, Florida.. they are definitely not afraid of much..
