Yep I found out when I tried to treat them as any other shellies and get a group, but the breeder refused to sell them if I wasn't going to separate them into pairs.

Idk, I'll check, but the bigger one is really aggressive towards the smaller one. I tried to separate their territories, they have 9 shells each I'm there

Yes, I know they aren't shell dwellers, but shell-spawners. I'm going to the LFS to get the signautus. They were in the same tank. And I never saw a pic of signautus, so I was going from what the employee told me was signautus.

Well I went back, and exchanged my two caudopunctus for 2 brevis

Well, it seems that they have paired up! They keep going into the same shell when there are 6 shells in the tank. They aren't even aggressive towards eachother
