    One of mine never has sweepers out, only feeders, while the other puts out sweepers nightly.

    The one that puts out sweepers has tiny eyes, something like 1/8" (they're extremely irregular and geometric), and the sweepers are like 3 inches long. That ratio astounded me the first time I saw it!

    Before ya get to carried away and start moving him around remember they are no sweepers they are feeder tentacles and will more than likely not hurt much. Mine are out now.
