Thought I would post a sneak peek of my new pet. These are truly a great specimen and awesome to watch. He's got awesome color just being camera shy.

From what I read a tank with some live rock and he should be alone. The rock that was placed in his tank had a Turbo snail on it but now the snails shell is in the front split in two if that tells you anything. They are a VERY VERY aggressive animal. They are also very fast so I wouldn't want to put my hand in there personally. He's currently in a 24G spare nano cube I had but Im on the look out for something larger. I think the recommended tank size was around 30g but he seems fine in the 24g.
