    My doesn't bother anything. Just hides and will wave his claws at anything that comes near him, but has never actually pinched anything.

    Mine thinks he is tough, but he isn't. On the other hand, he does eat a lot of algae.

    Not sure on the how. I have never seen mine eating eat. They do most of there stuff at night. But my bubble algae is halve of what it was, so Its definitely disappearing. I was wondering the same thing.
