Oh, if anyone was curious, I got her eating frozen shrimp bits. It required the very difficult technique of: placing a piece of shrimp in front of her burrow and watching her immediately come out and grab it.

She's a cute little sucker. Sticks her eyes out of her burrow (a piece of silicone drinking straw) when I turn on the lights. I wish I had the spare tank space to keep her! But alas, I do not, and also I'd worry about keeping the tank clean enough once she gets big enough to contribute substantial bio-load. She's living in a decent-sized breeder box, safely away from the gorilla crab, until it warms up in spring and I can ship her to StatelineReefer.
