I am a little confused, 1 site says thet are shy and wont touch any fish or other inverts and another site says they will eat small to med size fish.


anyone have any idea

I have one in my reef tank. I purchased it before I decided to get corals. They are nocturnal and I never see it unless I happen to move a rock where it is hiding- Idon't even see it at night. My wife spotted it once. Don't expect to get any pleasure out of observing this species; take pleasure in just knowing it is there hidden in the rocks. I figure it gets some of the uneaten food that no fish or other scavengers might get.

Beautiful creature and has been well-behaved for the 5 months I have had it. Maybe when they get bigger they are more likely to be a problem.
