Who says fish ain't smart?

My foxface rabbitfish LOVES nori - I mean, really, really loves it. I put multiple clips of nori in the tank every day and they rarely last an hour. A while ago, I started feeding him the left over "wad" of nori from the end of the clip - and he really likes that too. Now he's gotten smart enough, when I put my hand into the tank to reach for the clip, he swims right to my hand and all I have to do is open the clip and he just grabs the wad out himself. Here is a couple of clips of this behavior (in Quicktime format). He does it every day now. I might add, I've only started feeding him the leftover wads for the past month or so.

Yeah, I've read how they can figure out how to open various bottles, and even remember which technique to open which bottle. Very cool!
