Wolf Eel Carrying a Rock

I spent about 70 minutes with this young wolf eel. Living in an underwater protected sanctuary, she has seen a lot of divers. She liked being scratched under his chin and behind her gill plates. After a while, she started bringing me rocks. This is previously completely unreported and undocumented behavior

OMG, Hal! What a cool story! Were you able to get shots of her letting you scratch her??? How sweet although it was probably that it just felt good, not that she was making eyes at you?!? You should get someone to film you with her. they get pretty big, don't they?
