Lot of personality. Mine dug a burrow, which doesn't seem like typical behavior. He'll come out and pick at the rocks and then dart back in his burrow. He is still visible in his burrow. He sticks his head out like a goby. Never had any aggression issues. Pretty good at keeping the rocks clean too!
