He is about 14+ inches? I'm not very good at guessing..

He used to sleep on top of my Seio and now the front half of his body is bigger then the whole PH.

He moved to my larger tank, I have to update my sig, but I think he might be moving on to my friends tank, at the rate he is growing..

His fav thing to eat is Squid and Hermit crabs..
