"My shrimp and khuli loaches love hiding in it and it looks great with my set up"

— Fishlover

"I mean to be fair the item description is a pipe hide away but the image provide it is a crystal and the description of the item is also a crystal so if you’re looking for the Crystal this is not it it is in fact the pipe hideaway"

Bottom Line

If you’re looking for an affordable and functional aquarium ornament, this is a decent choice especially for small fish or animals. Both it looks to get other creatures all hyped around it, but doesn't look good for size unless requested otherwise, usually to the over eager. First. Just know if you're going for a bug creep see if it has that in intent.
