Yep, this one does sit with 1 or 2 arms up between his eyes. We used a pipette and "basted" his arms with cyclopeeze. Some seemed stick onto his suckers but soon after, he started squirting/shooting sand out at us, so we stopped. Unsure what he was trying to accomplish with that behavior (???) but he's really starting to get less shy. Will now come out to nab a crab. =)Thanks for the link to the aquaculture store. We're ordering the fiddler crabs and maybe also some amphipods and copepods for our various and sundry little critters.
