OK thanks for the info PP
This is not his new cave, it's just one of the caves in his current setup

Mine picked the back end of my tank to be his front entrance, so I almost never see him!

That's a shame, this is why I wanted to try and make a cave that faces forward. Perhaps if I put lots of LR at the back and leave a hole in the front maybe he will make himself at home

He does have a front entrance. I always see his butt sticking out of there!

It's gotta be worth a try. I would bet he will choose his own fav place at some point though

I looked up videos on Youtube, and I am now sufficiently terrified of these creatures.

LOL! There is no point in aquascaping with these critters. They put what they want, where they want
Just make sure that if you have a large rock structure that it is stable and heavy.
