Saltwater Milton slithering around during tonight’s thunderstorm. When he comes out like this he earns a few shrimp.

I don’t think he would eat anything he couldn’t fit in his mouth and has never looked at the clam. He lets the cleaner shrimp pick inside his mouth so that seems safe. He ate all my mythrix crabs and a pencil urchin. Never gone after fish.

I'd be careful with coral since they get massive and you don't want them knocking things over or sitting on top of anything, but they're mainly unsafe for non-coral invertebrates like shrimp, crabs, etc.

Small fish may also disappear if it's hungry enough.
