They should be able to but be careful, these guys will starve as soon as your sand becomes pristine and white. This is because most of their nutrients and diet is from the sand and it’s a pain to replicate those nutrients in captivity especially in a small tank. If your tank is 4’x2’ it should be alright as generally Atleast some of the sand remains with life and it can replenish any areas of dead spot.
I have a 32 Biocube with a good layer of the larger sand. Some way I can get more food to him? My lfs said he’s not hard to keep but I don’t think he remembered how large my sand is.
Unfortunately he’s likely to starve, are you able to get Atleast 4 feedings in a day?
