My yellow watchman was quite thin when I got him, but was eating and softing sand immediately. Sometimes I'd catch him cruising around the sand bed (but only if I saw him first!), and if I put a piece of food in the tank he would dart in and grab it from the hermits. He had his real den, but also several other temp homes he'd lurk in throughout the day.
Lately he's been more shy and I rarely see him outside his main den -- if so, only by and inch or two. I've been trying to leave bits of food (most Formula VHP) outside his den for him daily, but I'm not sure if he's eating it or if the current is carrying it away or some of both. From what I can see of him, he hasn't filled out at all and is still too thin for comfort.
Can anyone think of a better way to try to specifically get some food to him? The hermits are hopefully going to new homes this weekend so he has less competition.
