I was worried as I have not had a sighting of anything going on in Eureka's tank except the serpent starfish being vigilant by the largest rock in the tank. The baby hiding stage has begun. Well this morning as I was doing my usual scanning of the tank for any signs of movement, I notice he's been very busy collecting shells, seaglass, anything he can reach without coming out. I have started tapping lightly on the tank so he knows I am there, I tapped, out comes this tentacle, grabbed a shell and shut the space in the rock I had been shining a small flashlight in. Sure told me to leave him alone! I am happy to see movement that is definately planned! Jess and I went collecting the other night at high tide at a local river beach by an inlet. There was a man who was seining with some children. He gave us about 20 hermitcrabs. I had put 5 in but can only find 3 so I know he's eating.
Hopefully he'll become more curious as the days go by and want to know who keeps harrassing him with the tapping on the tank!
