Lift the cave out and look inside if there are eggs.

You suggested that I remove him after he left the cave post-spawning....he may stick his head out and snatch food, but I've never ever seen him swimming around the tank. He's just always in that cave. The female, on the other hand, spends most of her time outside. Just not sure what the deal is. I've watched and watched. The cave is HIS place (sigh).
