They stay hidden for the most part. I have had one in my 40 breeder for a few years now. I see him once every couple of months, one of my favorite inverts. Right up there with harlequin shrimp :)

so this week ive decided to sell off half my live rock and my corals to create more space for my new rock i plan on putting in... so all week ive been planning on catching this lil guy so i dont lose him when i sell my live rocks and coral.. so anyways last night he decided to creep out so i caught him and he looked fine i placed him in my lil "time-out tank" =]

and this morning i woke up and looked at him and discovered he, or better yet she had an orange egg sack on her butt.. if anyone has any information about this, i would love to hear your thoughts..

WOW! How neat!
Reminds of the egg-carrying stone crab we found diving last week!

Hope somebody knows some info on it!
