Leis are 10x worse.Ive owned three leis (just sold my last one on here in january,it was maybe 12") and have owned about 10 jars.
Leis are psycho schizophrenic.With them if you get one thats fairly calm you just got lucky...plain and simple.
At first they don't even like their owner next to the tank,jumping and bashing into things especially when you put your hands up over the top of the tank where they cant see them (like during feeding time).
Once they start to get used to you there is still a ways to go before they are okay with other people next to the tank,for a long time you might be the only one who can come withing 5-6 feet without the aro flipping out.
Two of mine stayed pretty nervous their whole lives,the last one started to mellow out allot by the time he was about 8-10" but still had some pretty bad times with him in the beginning as far as him spooking all the time and so bad too.
my $0.02

Omg thats horrible. I guess a lei might be to much for me since my tank is in a area with alot of traffic. And my jars still gets pretty nervous around feeding time when ppl walk past him while he eats.
