My engineer was 11" when I got him 2.5 years ago. He digs a lot, and even though my rocks are on the glass, he's buried s few corals I had set out on the sand away from the rocks. He's about 13" long now, and has kept the pathway under all my rocks from one end to the other clear of sand. I've never caught him eating anything alive, but I don't have seahorses - but I do have pipefish including 2 small bluestripes. He'll take krill from my hand and frequently investigates when I'm working in the tank, but he never comes out to swim around, even at night. He seems to prefer the half-in half-out of his burrow, advancing even all the way out to grab food before backing back inside. I've enjoyed watching him, but the whole burying thing has been a bit of a pain.
