My pistol snaps at my serpent stars all the time...especially if food may be involved
I'm sure my pistol is occasionally dining on porcelain crabs...I will sometimes find the remains of one just outside his "front door".
On a different note, I purchased new lights this week
. They're 2 X 250W MH (10K XM bulbs) and 2 VHO (super actinic URI). I bought a build-it-yourself kit from Hellolights and they should arrive tomorrow. My plan is to build a rough canopy/hood for it, maybe this weekend. But I probably won't put them on the tank for a couple of weeks. My DH & I are going to Las Vegas next week and I don't want to leave the tank unattended with new lights.
