When I first got him, he got his “arm” fins split in half, and that whole side of his fin’s webbing is smaller and less full than the other side

Just today morning I saw that his opposite side also had that fin splitting

He eats very well, about 4 months into having him, and eats an array of foods (switched him off of live)

Anyone know why?

Diet is good and assure no shell matter on the foods when feeding.
Since original post, has fish/fins improved?
Can you provide a video under requested lighting of at least 25 seconds?

Sure! As soon as i get home i will provide you the best 4k video possible 😎

Jokes aside, thank u! So i dont need to feed any kind of fish like silversides? Is this a good current permanent food option?

Silversides are a very good option and I have a fresh bag I dont use. If you were close to me, i'd hand it to you
