Bring here on up to Louisville and I will give her a home! ;)

I would but the 1 1/2 hour drive is just too far LOL! You should see her in action when you drop a night crawler on her back. She goes absolutely nuts trying to get it off her back to eat it.
 
I've got two aggressive feeding flowers as well; when they're hungry, both pounce on nightcrawlers, and when they're looking for food they're all over the tank.
 
I actually thought it was kind of normal for them. If I drop some nightcrawlers in the tank and the leos get there first the flower will jump all over the leos instead of finding the ones that are just laying there. And when there is no food it is all over the walls and bottom searching. The same goes for my tigers, they act the same way as the flower.

That is what drives me crazy. I tell my wife that she is my favorite ray but she is stupid. All the other rays are all over the food and she chooses to bite their tails. That is why I hand feed her to make sure she eats enough. I also have found out that if I feed her more she bites less.

Stupid is exactly what I think when I watch her? lol
