Everyone is not your latest victims Carol, Gail, Ed etc. You need to stop
trolling and destroying other newsgroups to feed your ego and build your low
self esteem. You need to get back to the VA hospital where they can help
you overcome your warped obsessions with these innocent people you're
victimizing Roy Tristan Hauer. Slandering others and net stalking them from
one NG to another isn't making you a hero in anyone's eyes but your own.

This little fella has got to be one of a kind. I have had them before
and also have another one in another tank, but this one is totally
different.
It constantly attacks the multitde of mud whelks in the tank, and is
very good at sucking that snail out of the shell. It has a pile of
empty shells outside its cave, like folks pile up oyster shells aftyer
shucking them.

Then I seen it go after what I had thought was a bristle worm. It was
mouthing somehtng so I kept watching it. It spit out a balled up
bristle worm, and then imediately scarfed it back up and started to
mouth it....spit it out again, and just like before, scarfed it
backup, but this time he swallowed it. I did not see it spit it out
again, but after it stopped mouthing it and rolling it around in its
mouth, it once again started to scoop up sand and filter it through as
it usualy does.......since then I have seen it consume other bristle
worms as well........It also picks at asternia stars, gets ahold of
them and carries them into his cave and imediately returns. I do not
know what he does with them or if he even consumes them or maybe he
just collects them for a hopbby ;-) The other yellow watchman we have
just does the typical watchman goby thing, sifts sand, and watches the
world go by. nothng unusual in its habits....This one is like a loner
or hermit. There is a pistol shrimp in there with it, but it pays it
no attention, The other YWG, hangs tight with his pistol shrimp
buddy..
