Titan Triggers

Heared lots of stories about them and their aggresiveness and always given them a wide berth whether they appeared to be nesting or not. None had ever caused me a problem until snorkelling in the Maldives last year. One appeared from nowhere and was one unhappy Titan and very interested in what my fins and I tasted like. It chased me a good 30m to within 4 or 5m of the shore much to the enjoyment of my wife. I just can't look at them the same now and you could now drive a bus through the "wide berth" that I give them when diving !

GTRJazz saw the sea in a book once
Those small crabs you get in the UK with red eyes, I only went close to one and it attacked me snipping at my hoses like a wild thing. and ending up hanging off my glove when I tried to push it away.
