What is your favorite fish to feed?

Barnacle blennies are always fun to feed but my personal favourite is my marine betta simply because it makes a whole cube of frozen dissappear in a split second.

I completely forgot about barnacle blennies! Fastest fish in the ocean for 1 foot!
 
My fav was a humu trigger I had a good 15-20 years ago. When he'd see me come out with the container I used to thaw out his food, he would start zooming around the tank and spit water out of the top. I'm talking a good foot or two away from the tank. Tank was in a basement rec room so wasn't a big deal. I swear he could recognize different people as well, because anyone that never seen the tank before he would be shy and peek out from behind the rocks. After they'd be over a few times he'd start coming out.

Crappy pic because, well it was a quite awhile ago.... (note the substrate over everything, he liked spitting that everywhere too.)

Eels and puffers are some of the most entertaining at feeding time
 
Zebra Moray here. It got

a hold of my finger once so I use tongs to feed now. Actually all my fish are pretty fun to feed. I feed often so my fish all swim to me and beg for food. When I'm feeding one tank all the fish in the other tank swim to the end and watch waiting for their turn.
 
My favorit to feed is my largest domino damsel. He acts like he hadn't been fed in a year. If we can include inverts then I would say my decorator crab. When I put a piece of shrimp in there he lunges for it then eats in for hours when he is done he sticks the extras all over himself. Right now he is covered in peas and shrimp.

Thanks for organizing it.
 
Any given day, I have a bunch of lions, scorps, and a blue ribbon eel; all fun to feed, and oh yeah my buck toothed dogface puffer. I hold a live molly in my hand and my rhino hops to a few inches away, and waits for me to open my hand and reveal a live fish for his delicacy.

I love feeling my zebra moray Jules. He is just over 3 feet and very gentle.
Also loved feeding my shark Bruce (though she was a girl, i couldn't think if a more suitable name) and my cow fish Steve used to spit water at me while waiting for me to feed him.
