Yes! Me.  Especially the things most people wouldn't notice.

yeah i love all the little crawly critters, they make sitting in front of the tank so interesting i could sit there for hours. much as i love the fish, its nice to have something else to focus on. my hermit crab was scaling the corner of the tank this morning...he made it halfway up with nothing to anchor on except the silicone, it was amazing!

I am usually amazed at how fast my starfish move and the "stances" they get into.

Careful with the damsels. They're territorial and may harass other fish.

It's funny, but the stuff I get the biggest kick out IN my tank is the stuff that would gross me out the most if it was OUTSIDE my tank.
Cheers...Michael

Damsels will do bad things to some pretty cool Creepy Crawlie things. DONT DO IT. I had a lettuce nudi destroyed by a blue fin damsel and a three stripe damsel. THEY ARE A MENACE. If you value your Creepies, get a herbivore.
The uppercase was not yelling. It is frustration from not being able to catch the menacing hell spawn we call damsels.
