What You Feed: I don’t even know

I have had this guy for 2.5 months and never see him. He made a cool rock tunnel system in my reef and stays hidden 99% of the time. Sometimes I can see him when feeding if I look between the rocks. He looks cool. He seems easy. I think he just eats the leftovers everyone else. Might be cooler with a pistol shrimp but otherwise just kind of lives in my tank and contributes to bioload without seeing. Might be more visible in a smaller tank as mine is a 175g display.
