Yep, I'm aware of their problem with high lighting and their shell. I have a really weak light, and the bulb is kinda old also...But I gave him plenty of tunneling with pvc and lots of rocks to get away from the light :)

Much better day today.
He's come out of his cave and started exploring his new home.
Also noticed that there are 3 turbo snail shells and 1 hermit crab shell outside his cave..and nothing in the shells. haha

Well, it was too good to be true.
He was healthy and doing great, then i had to go out of town for 3 days. I came back, and my dad said he didnt see him wednesday, but saw him tuesday and he wouldn't eat. It was about his time to molt, it's been over a month since I've had him. Looked behind the tank today, and he had gotten out some how.
RIP henry =\
