Why does this green anole watch us through the window all day?

I mean, I’m happy he’s here. Was just curious why he’s here for hours everyday.

Introducing Frank Sinatra, who will replace the deceased Elton John as the star of my 32 gallons.

He acclimated well to his new water, and after 6h I introduced him to my nursery 10 gallons tank.

He chased the endlers fry for a while, flared at the pest snails and even hunted some lentils at the surface. I watched him for half an hour before turning the lights off. I'm crossing my fingers and hope everything will be fine.

Employee of the Month and he knows it. No register training, no customer service skills, and he keeps flaring at anyone who asks where the Ritz crackers are. Still somehow the most hardworking face in the whole store.

He flared one time and immediately promoted himself to tank manager. Tiny body, massive attitude, zero customer service skills, and absolutely no respect for anyone’s personal space. I don’t know who hired him, but he’s already acting like he owns the whole department.

He saw one person put grapes in the wrong aisle and immediately clocked in as manager. Flaring at customers, guarding the snacks, and running the cart like upper management. Customer service rating is terrible, but confidence is 10/10.

Jam nearly gave me a heart attack today. I saw her looking limp in the tank and immediately thought something was wrong… turns out she just had her first shed. 😭🦞 I swear these little creatures know exactly how to scare us before casually acting like everything is fine.

Atlantic sturgeon carcass found at Sandy Hook, NJ. Authorities have been notified. Sad thing to come across on the beach, especially with a fish this impressive and important. Hopefully the right people can document it and figure out what happened.

Any ideas about how to handle this?
So, clearly I messed up. I ordered a Sea Hare cause I have a lot of green hair algae that I’m trying to get rid of. I knew that the sea hare would have to go to a new home once it got too big, I ordered a 1-4” sized one from Mosaic Marcos and this is what I got, 6 inches when it’s all scrunched up. How do I get rid of one that is so huge? Would a fish store even take this? It’s a 40g tank, I thought ordering a small would give me like a month for it to eat everything.
