Hi,

AFAIK the entire species feeds on snails, starfish, shrimp but they grow big, between 1 and 3 feet. Oh and they change colour/

Have a look at these adults

They need to be housed in massive aquariums. :) Most people are sold these animals without info.:mad: people need to read up on these before purchase.
If you can house 1 then make sure it is feeding well prior to purchase as these can be finnicky feeders.:)
