very cool Andy..never seen one actually swim to the surface to grab food...also heard it trying to break it open, but I didn't see it do it, but I'm sure it hit the shell strong enough to do so...

It takes him awhile Mike, but after about 20min of banging, tiny pieces of shell start to come out of his den. It's like he throws out his garbage:smile:
