livingart Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Had this guy for 3 months now he was brought to me from some fisherman who found him in an empty barnacle shell they pulled up from 30 metres just off the coast here. He hasn't grown much so i hope he is an Octopus huttoni as they only grow to approximately 24cm, in the plastic mesh cage ar oysters and the squares in it are 25mm, he has been a bugger to get a pic of as he has been travelling from the tank through the bell siphon and into the sump which is a rockpool. Lost him for three weeks and thought he had been eaten but found him in the rockpool so put him back in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#!CrunchBang Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Neat, would like a small one, but they have to be entertained and like to escape. I've read that they don't like Velcro, so you can keep them in with it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 if they are small enough they grow in that environment and don't try to escape, never had a lid on an octopus tank yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
