Thanks! We drilled a hole in one end of the cuttlebone and zip tied it to the corner guard (on which Fezzik is napping). They climb on it as well as pick at it. The last one they whittled down to a nub so i know they’re getting calcium! Image

Plastic corner guard, in case you haven’t encountered yet, bought at home improvement store, drilled holes in it, and siliconed to the glass all around the tank. All our big pieces of decor (cork tree, cholla, bamboo, etc) are anchored to it with zip ties. I figure if it’s tied from above, it won’t sink into the sand when they tunnel under!

This is a FANTASTIC idea! What section would I even look for this? (I’m home improvement challenged haha). My stuff is always sinking!
