He has more than likely had a spot to hide and feed in that he has outgrown.
Not only are the effective grazers on green algaes but also on coralline's. So now that you know he is in there read up and feed him greens on a feeding clip daily and your coralline growth may increase. Of coarse your Ca and Alk have to be allowing for growth!

I have had a long spine one in my tank for a long time. Except for the ocasssionaly white track across some rock, or a trail across the back glass, I seldom have any idea it is even in the tank. It is behond me, that a critter with such a large profile remains so hidden for such long periods of time. I may only see him (or her) a time or two a month........
