Thanks for that. I have frozen krill and blood worms but I completely forgot about those. I thought of just the wiggling, moving food.

My Hairy will ONLY eat live earthworms. When I 1st got him, he ate everything. I only feed him 1x/week, as many worms as he'll eat.

My hairy puff went through phases where it would eat everything but lately will eat earthworms/night crawlers, krill and live shore crabs. I used to be able to feed it shrimp in shell and stuff some pellets in there for it to get extra vitamins and trace elements but it just wont touch a shrimp now for some reason.
I think the Suvattii ate a krill... or it got sucked up in the filter.

Well no pics since the little guy is buried and all you see is eyes and snout. But on a fun note, my wife and I went for a little walk down by the water and I brought home some little shore crabs. The Suvattii and hairy both had for crab dinner. The Suvattii totally ambushed the little crab and then promptly buried himself again. Tried to get him to eat another but it was just not in the mood. Anyway I got a few in the fridge for tomorrow’s meal.

I think mine hates me... not sure if it will ever interact with me like the one in the video you had sent me. I was hoping it would eventually be like my hairy puff. I guess time will tell.

Oh yeah. It hasn't been that long. Eating and burying is a good sign.

The little guy popped out to eat a crab again today. I was surprised to see the start of a belly on him. So it is getting enough food.
Todays pic. I love the 'V' marking on its head

(ps cyclying is not an issue as i have lots of tanks to borrow mature filter media from
)
