Mine went in the sand originally and buried itself super deep (my sand bed is around 2" deep) and barely had the frills of his skirt visible. Keep in mind, they want to grab something and not just bury their foot.

Ok that's good advice Tim. Maybe I could give it a piece of rock rubble above the sandbed, then bury it slightly?
