Did you check to see if they were alive in the first place? When you get them home put them in a bucket covered with salt water. If they open up and stick out a foot then they are alive. If they open up and ask for hot sauce then they are an aphrodisiac.
Do not forget to aclimate. They will burry within the week. They are not photosynthetic so go ahead and add them with your night light on. When they die they will come up out of the sand and show themselves. There is no down side to these guys. There cheap, there hidden, and there beneficial.
Lets get someone to do some scientific tests. If no one else volunteers it will be something I do when the new tank is set up.

After reading this thread yesterday I went and picked up 2 at the Albertson's. The girl behind the counter didn't seem to think 2 was a strange request.
I've seen a whiteish tongue looking thing come out of one of the two, is that the foot?
Thanks again to all above for saving me some $$.

alright, so I've seen both open up slightly and stick out what I am assuming is the foot.
The odd thing is when I woke up and turned on the lights this morning, the one that I saw open up and check things out second had burried itself. The first one, which opened up the other night when I put them in doesn't appear to have moved. It did stick out its foot, so I'm not going to remove it just yet.
:notsure:
