Hi, thank you so much for your reply! Those articles really helped. My second (and hopefully last) query is how comfortable or safe he feels. I’ll attach a picture to show the current set up and how he sleeps. He sleeps all day and will maybe come out around 9pm to feed (and I assume he comes out at night) but apart from that, he sleeps. Do you think he would prefer something more private for him to hide in?

TIA



I hope you can see him! He’s hiding in the rock on the right! :D

What specific gravity is his tank? Although mostly nocturnal, he would feel much safer & outgoing with a lot more live rock. Should be 1 1/2-2lbs/gal. Are you running a protein skimmer?
