    Amazing. What about crabs? I'd think they would be food for that guy.

    Sure is pretty.

    LOL. Ok the tank is 8' long and the trigger is about 6" long.I don't have any crabs other then the acro crabs.They do not behave like your standard trigger.That is they do not attack L.R. or attempt to move it around and look under it for prey.They hover back and forth and feed in the mix without biting anybody. They have a wonderful personality.

    The ones that I get come from Hawaii. They retail for $100, give or take,depending upon where you see them sold.I have them on my website, but currently I do not ship them.
