Hi all,
I just got this guy today, he is checking out the female guppies in this pic. The guppies are safe as they are in a hatchery within the tank.
I think I am going to call this guy bielsibub (eerm that is if I could spell it!)

Beelzebub

Also known as Beelzebuth, Belzebuth, Baalzebub, Ba'al-zebub (and known as Achor by the Cyreneans), which probably meant 'Lord of the High House', referring to the Canaanite chief god 'Baal the prince'. This title could only properly apply to Solomon in his temple, so the Jews changed the name to Beelzebub which translates as 'Lord of Flies', probably because of his supposedly role as creator and controller of the flies in the Philistine city of Ekron.

One of the oldest and most famous demonic figures, Beelzebub also had command over disease (flies congregate around the corpses of the dead, and spread disease from the dead to the living) and his role is to tempt men with pride.

Beelzebub came to be regarded as the leading representative of the fallen gods, referred to as the Devil himself; in Matthew, 12, 24, he is mentioned as 'Prince of the Devils' and this appellation has stuck, even though Milton has him next in rank to Satan (Paradise Lost, I, 79). Other demonologists also regarded Beelzebub as the ruler of the infernal regions:


"Beelzebub was Prince of the Seraphim, the next unto Lucifer. For all the princes, that is to say all the chief of the nine choirs of angels, are fallen; and of the choir of Seraphim there fell the three first, to wit, Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Leviathan, who did all revolt."
(Possessed Catholic nun Sister Madeleine of Aix-en-Provence)
 
eeerm, what the 'hell'. Most of that went straight over the top of my head.
I did think about calling him Satan, Drac or Vamp and decided with Beelzebub, I only called him this because he looks evil with the all red body, the red face and red eyes.
Perhaps Damien or Lucif(er) would be more apt.
