Bright lights? Bad.

Lobsters? Awful.

Loud noises? ...Actually he'd probably pick the Lobsters over loud noises at any given chance. At least a lobster's head was easily bitten off. Not that he was keen of ever being in the position to choose, really.

But a foreign Merman finding his way into his enclosure — His kingdom? Well... Surprisingly enough, that might be worth investigating for once. Most Mer by now knew to steer clear of his tank unless they wanted to get chased around and have their fins nipped. Sure, having to deal with a break in routine was a hassle, especially if the nuisance was bigger than a crustacean...

However, no one has yet died from saying hello to the neighbors and leaving them with a bite mark or two to their tail if they get too bothersome, at least in the Georgia Aquarium. It's not like the intruder was planning to stay — right?

Location: Cor's enclosure. A huge area, built to resemble the deeper areas of the ocean with many rocky formations and tight, dark crevices for the merman to squeeze into, kept in dim lighting conditions due to Cor's light sensitivity. At the deepest spot of the enclosure lays his den, a spacious underwater cave with artificial thermal vents, decorated with red crystals, bones, corals in various shades of red.

Likes: all things red, including hair, pearls, his caretaker Junhi Tao, cold water and mer with muscles (larger or smaller than him, he doesn't discriminate.)

Dislikes: bright light, loud sounds, blonde humans specifically, crustaceans (strategically hunts them down and displays their carapaces around his enclosure as if that'd keep them away)
