In my short time, I've learned that there are lots of conflicting
theories and many "theories" are driven by superstition. I try to be
very objective and rational about how this works, but I think I also
have superstitions that I need to be wary of.

For instance, I was missing another blue damsel that I promptly blamed
on my green brittle star, and I was plotting it's demise for a few days.
Turns out that the damsel is alive and well, but spends most of it's
time in the rock work. I think the two other blue damsels paired off,
so this one is not only out of luck, but fears for it's life.
