Ceylons are not like GSPs, which was something it took me a while to realize, as I assumed that since a black belly on a GSP meant trouble, it would be the same with a Ceylon. Not so, at least from my experience. My Ceylon most often has a gorgeous, white lower half of his body with not many dark rings and squiggles on its side and face/chin. However, when he sees me come up to the tank, and starts begging me for food, you can watch that white belly change to black right before your eyes over the space of maybe 30 seconds to a minute. It's pretty cool.
Mine likes whole mussels, too. And anything else I put in the tank, including my fingers.

Although actually, he has quite the little entourage with a couple of blue damsels and three black and white striped damsels: they flock around him, especially at feeding time, and he shows not a bit of interest in them. That may change someday, but really he doesn't even look at them anymore.
