Care and observations

The Snail Slaughter: It views Hermit Crabs, Snails, and Shrimps purely as crunchy snacks. It will relentlessly flip over rocks and bite the faces off crabs. Your 'clean up crew' will be annihilated in hours.

The Heavy Jumper: Cover your tank with a heavy glass lid or mesh, or it will launch itself across the living room.
