Crack open the shell & leave the meat on it. That way, he'll have to scrape his teeth on the shell to get the meat out. Be sure to freeze those foods, to kill off any nasties. Then defrost in vitamin water (Selcon/Vita-Chem).
yeah, I've seen him scrape his teeth on multiple things so far, but really has no intrest in the clams/ oyster shells i don't know why.
He seems to have fallen in love with my veggie clip though and will just sit by it and bite at it time to time. It's fun to watch.
I will get some pics later when at home! - The Pittsburgh store is http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221785
here is tread my friend made for it. I saw no fish there that weren't sick or weren't awesome and excellent looking specimens. And they have a huge selection of some really awesome fish!
Here are some close ups of the fish that were there- http://www.aquatic-photography.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16322
As I said before I will post some of my fish pics later.

Thanks for the link.
My eyes got tears in them and my mind shut down. My jaw was on the floor. I dont care that they are 3 hours away, whenever i get bigger fish i will be going there. Wow...
No problem, as promised here's a few pics of the fish. Unfortunately I got home today and the Hippo was dead under a rock. I don't know why it didn't work out but I have no future plans for any surprise fish that I haven't witnessed eating at the fish store already. He just never really ate, I never saw any signs of disease or ick on him. And then he was just dead today and all the other fish are doing great so IDK.
Here's the pics!
The pic of the butterfly isn't very good so I'll see if I can get a better one. I was feeding some octopus to my trigger/ puffer and he swam up and grabbed it and swam around with it in his mouth for a while. BTW the only thing I've gotten the butterfly to eat much of is some nori and mainly formula 2 frozen is what he loves!

Aahh the Puffer is crazy-adorable!! =) Congratulations!
Sorry to hear about the Hippo though! I hope the rest of them all work out okay!

Thanks alot, I'm hoping all these other fish stay healthy as well. I'm yet to see any unusual behavior in any of the other fish and they all seem healthy so hopefully it stays that way. I've really been surprised at how well the butterfly and puffer have adjusted to the tank.
I have not named any of my fish though. I may decide to. But I am horrible with making decisions so choosing names for them would actually be stressful to me. Unless I think of something I really like. Any considerations?
