| ahh the dardanus family.i remember mine eating everything in sight.i eventualy had to quarantine him to my 40 gallon sump where he became a cleaning machine for new pest ridden live rock.he would scour the rock for life even the aptasia was dismantled and eaten.one of the difficulties i found at the time was finding shells for the guys.they need a special larger shell for there long bodies.as far as care they are pretty easy.good water and a variety of food and youare good to go.they are not picky about there meals as they are opportunistic omnivors. | |

| Well thanks for the advice. But is there any coral or life that Dardanus will not tear apart? | |

| Maybe an anemone, sometimes they live symbiotically with them. | |

| as long as he cant get to it or catch it then it should be fine.i have seen damsels and a maroon clown with one once.i have read about other tank mates but i would exercise caution with housing other lifeforms as you know. | |
