Mr Stubbs has grown into larger shells and has been very entertaining doing stupid pet tricks. My favorite is he rode a snail all the way to the top of the tank and ended up in the back chambers of my Biocube. He also likes the temperature sensor wire which he also likes to swing from time to time.

Over the last few weeks I have been finding uprooted corals flipped over in my tank and Mr Stubbs running away, like "haha, fast as fast can be you will never catch me!!!"He is finding his way to the sump or LFS soon. I don't understand why he believes he needs to deflate my duncans, and overturn my lobos, acans, and blastos.

He is well fed, king of the tank along with his minions. I think he has become destructive. I also find him in the middle of my corals upsetting and deflating them almost stomping on them. I wonder if there is an algae that is a delicacy growing in/on these corals that is keeping his interest?
