My name is Josh and I have recently ventured into the ceph world. Picked up my octo one week ago and got him acclimated to his tank. All was well up to this point. Upon release into his tank he ran around for a while then hid behind a rock...what I expected pretty much.
When the lights went off he came right out and was checking out his new home. Even started to hunt a bit with a hermit but have up to go explore some more. I went to bed after about an hr of watching him.
Got up the next morning and looked and looked and looked. Couldn't find him. Left for work and came home that evening. Looked some more and still couldn't find him.
Well, it wasn't until yesterday, lights off, had my phone flashlight and was looking into the tank. Saw a quick glimpse of an arm sliding back into an old tube worm skeleton.
How can I get him to not be so shy and come out? I picked up a little food container today and I'm going to put some krill in it tonight to try and give him some entertainment. But I'm worried that if he doesn't come out he won't get fed.
Thoughts...suggestions?
Thanks!
