  1) What does it eat?
  
  2) should we provide it with salt water (salt+tapwater) or just normal tapwater? My dad is also concerned about chlorine in the water.

  I used to catch alot, but i put them back into sea, some of this poor baby just do not know how to reach the sea or went the wrong way, seagull may eat them up, so let nature decided their fate, if you see one on the sand scambling, just pick it up and put it into the sea as far as you can go.
