Jess and I went collecting last night at our local Inlet at low tide. Came back with a whole bag of tiny, baby crabs. We put about 10 in Spikes tank. He pounced immediately on one! His new location is the fabricated cave in the front of the tank. He has pulled shells around him, but is positioned so he can constantly watch us. Sometimes I can see only his eye, positioned out so he can see what I am up to. So far so good. Tank temp is staying at 72. I do not have a heater in the tank. Anyone who has access to the ocean, there are still baby crabs under the rocks at low tide and they do well in a home tank. I have 2 feeder tanks right now. One has the local crabs and the other is strictly the food that came with Spike.

Blinky is starting to come around to the "eye poking out of the den" behavior. I love it. She finished her crabs too! Took her several hours though...
