    it makes it harder cause hes a spearer. for my smasher i just drop hermits in whenever so he can eat whenever he wants to, makes it pretty easy, because if he doesnt eat them they clean my tank LOL

    you want to keep feeding him live food. its good exercise for his raptorial appendages. Like they say "if you dont use it, you lose it"! if he is 5" give him a small chromis or damsel. its good exercise, keeps them mentally stimulated, and it keeps there arms in good shape for healthy molts. other than that the tank looks great!
