Dark Storm how big is your tank that yor crayfish was in? I've seen some eels and ropefish go up inthe filter and come back out but I'm not sure if your crayfish would do that. Would other tankmates did it live with?

They do bury themselves and he might just have found a suitable location for a cave.
