He would take a finger off with one hit! Known to be the second hardest hitting animal in the animal kingdom! Used to be #1, but was recently replaced by none other than an ant! Go figure?

No, he comes out all the time! He roams the tank a lot. He knows about feeding time, and loves to ambush! It's almost comical! He EX, if you don't want those shrimp, catch them and send them my way! I have a place for them!!! It's not in Walters tank, but for sure they will get a good home!

Water changes aren't so bad b/c I change the water from the sump and fuge underneath! So, I never really have to put my hands in there except to go after corals and the such! And, yes, he does love the PVC... it took him a little to get used to it, and make his burrow in it, but now he loves it!
