Rub his body bout mid way down so he knows you aren't food. Fully support his body when you pick him up. Has he eaten yet for you? If not I would wait til he has eaten as he may be hungry and he is in a new home.
No he hasn't eaten yet. I removed him the other night into a separate tank and he didn't eat i gave him 30 mins so i put him back in and left him along. i will try next Thursday or Friday again to see if he wants to eat
