Ed, I have one of those and it has never hurt anything in my tank. I will say that it is a rock boring one and has made a few holes and cracks in my rockwork bigger. As soon as I get mine into an area where I can catch him he will be going in the fuge.

got one too. might knock stuff over if not auqascaped well (depending on how big). eats coraline a bit, but help build new growth.
