Der Gonodactylus chiragra ist ein wunderschönes dunkelgrün schillerndes Tier. Er lebt in einem 45l Artenbecken gemeinsam mit Einsiedlern in unterschiedlicher Grösse. Wenn ich in der Wohnung laute Schläge höre, dann drischt er gerade auf einen Einsiedler, den er kurz danach verspeist. Dem grossen Einsiedler mit einem 6cm Haus tut er gar nichts. Früh und abends wird die Höhle pünktlich geöffnet und verschlossen.
