I don't think it's supposed to get much bigger I have two and they are about an inch. Great little algae eaters, however I have had to rescue them from getting sucked into the filter area and one from the suction of the powerhead I added to my tank. I look for them every day several times a day. But they are pretty and peaceful, cover the live rock from crevice to crevice.

i got one tuesday and it was awesome, then my hermit crabs cornered it and ate it =[
Sorry to hear that.
I don't have any hermits, the guy at the lfs said they eat more than they are worth. So my clean up crew is various small snails, 2 turbo's, one serpent star, one brittle star, two nudibranch, and one diamond goby. so far I have a few strings of hair algae here and there but they ususally don't last long.

These always die on me. How long have you had yours?
so far only two weeks, I thought one was not going to make it from the start, he was lethargic, and had a dark color, not moving much. (they were shipped) now I can't tell them apart, I just make sure I count 2 every day or go on the hunt.
How long did yours live?

I've had one in the tank now for about 3 months. My hermits don't bother it. Its not as large as it once was - I think due to less algae around to eat.
I also have had to remove him from the filter outlets a time or two.
