bastard?!!!

He attacks EVERYTHING.
I think he killed my emerald crab some time ago and I'm more and more sure of it all the time.
I put my hand in the tank .. pinch pinch!!
I feed my anemone .. pinch pinch (the anemone, he steals shrimp from it, I know this is normal)
Fish gets too close .. pinch pinch!!
Introduced a serpent star the other night .. pinch pinch!!

He runs around owning the tank!
If he wasn't so damned cool I would sell him. Stupid Jacque.
Is his behaviour normal?

The larger they get, the more aggresive they get.

I've had one for four years, and find it amusing at feeding time when he tries to catch fish. I havn't noticed him being destructive or killing anything.

They get big, and agressiveness is their behavior.
I had one in a 10 gallon tank. He really didn't go after any fish, but if you put your hands in the tank to rearrange rocks or a coral, i had to watch my hands.. pinch pinch.
Although the neat thing was that when I fed him pellet food he'd always grab it out of my hands... lol go figure.

I had learned my lesson with them and now my coral banded shrimp is banished into a smaller tank with all the "bad boys" who ate my inverts and polyps.
