But Hamlets have to be a contender for the fiercest.
They are carnivores that specialize in feeding on crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp, and occasionally eat other fishes.
They are very territorial.... spending all day, every day defending their little patch of the reef.
They see no reason to back down when something even as big as diver gets in their space.
On more than one occasion.... I have had one make a run at me.
They have even nibbled on the knuckle.... when I didn't give them space as quickly as they thought I should.
