under a bridge in fl
these guys are so cool.i have a bunch.
he sifts through the sand looking for food.
and the sand comes out of his gills. "hard to see in vids"
all he does is sift through the sand.
figures he wants to have a stare down when im trying to get a vid. lol
and all my vids end short,not sure if it happens to everyone. :irked:

how many people with sand want one now? :D

:popcorn:
