That pretty much describes what we were doing to get his attention. He seems to understand that if he comes to the front aquarium wall (his official den is on the left side but there is a full laberinth under the LR and he can pop out most anywhere) while Neal is feeding the tanks, he will get supper.
Neal used the "floating ice cube" feeder tonight (a plastic ice cube with a zip tie) and like the briareus, he was most interested in what was at the surface a (the ice cube) and eventually took the food from the zip tie. We had thought this behavior was due to the poor close up eye sight of the O. briareus but this similar behavior suggests something else is involved.
