Great video.

Obviously the speed is utterly amazing, but what I find even more impressive is how quickly he retreats BACK into the hole...and BACKWARDS!!

Hes awesome to watch...builds up and works on his burrow daily and then as soo as krill touches the water hes in full alert mode and just watches it until it gets close enough to strike!...or sometimes he just takes off after it.


Scares me to clean the tank....but thats what I was looking for :headbang2 :ROFL:
