Lol I put him up there for more light bc he didn't look that good when he was down on the sand. I gave him liquid food
 
they don't eat liquid food. that is a long tentacle plate. they don't have a very good track record in closed systems. in other words, don't get attached to it.
if you wanted to feed it, a small piece of meaty foods is what they like. a pea sized piece of fresh fish or shrimp will work.
if it's not getting enough light, you should purchase a better light, instead of balancing it on that skull.
 
Doug is right. They need to be on the substrate. Be careful not to overfeed.
 
Ya I know I am looking at better lights actually if u aren't to busy I put up a post about this light on eBay I don't know if I trust eBay much so if u could look at this other post and tell me if it sounds or looks good??
