Durzo - A. aculeatus

He apparently came out at like 7am this morning.

My mom said she saw him... I didn't wake up until like noon.

We played tug-of-war with the feeding stick tonight... He brought the whole thing in the tank and wouldn't give it up.

I always take this as a good sign of health , the stronger the better. We see this "dragon like" hording a lot but more typically with larger species. No clue as to what it means.

Not much to report, he's been fairly shy lately. I've only caught him out of the rock completely a couple times in the past week or so, and never with the lights on.
He is still eating, but he doesn't attack fiddlers on sight. He just kind of stares at them until I leave then I see a shell the next morning. He still seems very interested in the stick whenever I use it.

He's been fairly shy lately, not many sightings with the light on, so the best I can offer is some blurry flashy pictures.

Not the greatest pics ever, but I needed to post something.

The day after I say he doesn't come out...

The ones I really wanted to get came out blurry. :-(

Cutey for sure! Loved the little night cap when he went into the rocks.

Video from tonight:

Not the best.


Peekaboo!

My favorite pose for these guys is when they stick up their horns and peak up over the rocks but my second favorite is the look in your blue photos in your prior post where they emulate algae and have the tree branching papillae.

I have only seen that twice, and it was the same night. He was doing it, and I ran to get my camera. By the time I got back he was already done. Then when I walked by later he was doing and those are the pictures I got.

Ask and receive I love it. Great photos of one of my two favorite aculeatus "looks"!

I agree with you 100% about them reading over our shoulders and them always doing whatever it is we say they don't do...

Excellent point! I had not thought about that thought for awhile even though mine did just that last week (sadly it had to do with losing arms).
