He doesn’t eat shrimp or smaller fish? Or is he your favorite because he’s the only one left after he ate the others? :)

Never bothered anyone else -- that being said I've never put shrimp in this tank because it also contains Hawkfish. But he ignores all fish -- small or large.

Does it ever do the head-in-a-hole-now-I’m-a-moray thing?

It's pretty much lord of its domain in my tank and knows nothing will bother it much. Occasionally one of the Tangs will do the "I'm an asshole tang so I'm going to back into you and cut you up" thing and at that point he will somewhat mimic the behavior by orienting his head downward toward the rocks and "unfurling" it's tail a bit more.
