    They are AWESOME! Especially when they emerge from the sand like a huge beast.

    They eat sand critters. Whatever is running across the surface and whatever it scares up with it's fingers. Our LFS had one in a big ole 300+ tank and every week we went there, it got smaller and smaller until it was a skeleton and resembled nothing of it's former glory. So sad.

    Kind of looks like a mix between a tiger watchman goby and a dragonette.
