Aww nice engineer! How big is it?!
And great shot with the mandarin beside it!

2 of them are about 10 inches long, and the 3rd is about 9 inches long. I've had them since prior to their color transformation, which was really cool seeing them go through.

I miss mine. I had to sell it because it was too destructive in my tank. It kept my sand looking great but constantly buried everything with it.

They really move the sand around in my system as well, although it is getting better. They did bury some green mushrooms one weekend and killed them, but other than that, they haven't killed anything.
Here is a shot of one of them coming out to eat. They would go right over the clam if there was food on the sand on the other side of the clam. The clam didn't seem to mind.
