We kept a "golden" in an aquarium on Kwajalein for a while.  It seemed to
eat the "living" rocks that we kept in for all the shells.  But we were
off-island for a while and the house sitter neglected to take something out
of the aquarium that had died and the whole aquarium crashed, killing
everything in it.  Beautiful golden was relegated to a display case!
