Good question. I know they PREFER sand, but I have seen them happy on a sand less bottom.

I think she just laid the eggs today. I can’t find them though, they are probably in their den with the pistol shrimp. Couldn’t catch her to try and out her in a quarantine tank, so seeing how it goes this way. Fingers crossed!!

They lay the eggs in their burrow and the male watches them. The best indicator for the presence of eggs is that the male is not coming out of the burrow (with the possible exception during feedings).
So if the female is out for most of the day while the male is nowhere to be found he is likely sitting in the cave fanning the eggs.

That is exactly what is happening!! Wish I could see the eggs, but guess I will have to wait and hopefully see some babies here in the future!
