Red Devil Chicken?

Question
Our Red Devil is afraid of the night crawlers we've attempted to feed him.  Any suggestion of a different treat for him?  He's very aggressive when eating his pellets, but drop a worm in and he hides from it.  He is alone in a 55 gallon.  We've had him for 6 weeks now, is he maybe still getting used to his new home?

Answer
Hi Kim,
  I would give him time and eventually I bet he will eat them (and likely love them).  Cichlids such as red devils are very intelligent and it takes them quite a while to get used to new things (and yes, he can easily recognize people as individuals, so he is still getting used to you).
