Comments: They will live a long life and are extremely hardy, Ive had mine for 7 years, has lived thru many ups and down's. Grows to great lengths, and gets along with many fish, and some inverts. Easy to feed by feeding stick, only down side spends most of his life in hiding, in the rocks.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
