Anyone else have a sunshine pleco that loves to dig? I can't believe how quick it can make my tank look like a war zone. Getting on my nerves.
 
When I kept them on gravel & sand without caves they could fit in they would dig, you could here it another room as the gravel hit the glass. Once I provided caves they stopped pretty much, they like subdued lighting so caves make them content, my L24 digs in the sand to get under a large flat rock.
 
How big is the L14? When I think back mine that dug was 12"+, he was temporarily in a 55g while my 300g was cycling.
 
Yes they do that also the reason I keep plecos on bare bottom tank also Your 10” L14 looks more like a yellow L253
