That thing would SOOOOOO. Be kicked out of the tank, ASAP.
He's not staying. I'm not doing a deep enough sand bed on any future tanks to want a sifter like that again either. Conch, goat, & star can handle it going forward.

The reason I have no hermits or mithrax, the last 6 hermits I added were in great form having cleared a tank at my lfs and were big, day two in and I saw the engineer backing into the scape with a hermit in it's mouth, I thought it might have been a moult but after a week I had no more hermits.
