Default My Octopus!

This section needs some activity! I'll post my pictures and videos asap. I own just a little guy right now in a 10gal working on moving him to the 220gal when it's ready. If anyone has any questions or anything don't hesitate to ask!

YouTube - Octopus 2

Alright there is a video of my little guy, yes I tapped on the glass I was just trying to get him to swim for the camera it's so cool when he does! Sorry for the poor quality took it on my camera phone.

Will have another up shortly once it done processing.

HELLLLOOOOO.........anybo dy here?????
Just kidding. Love the octo! Curious as to what species?
I am picking up a baby vulgaris on Saturday-- any tips as to what yours likes to do? Games? You are moving him into a larger tank? Will it have coral? (not sure if you did this already?) Aren't you worried of him getting out, or inking the water w/coral in it? What else will be in the larger tank with him? Please let me know- thanks!

Ok Brad- you said this section needs some action- where'd ya go? lol - I would like to know your secrets for getting your guy out in the open. Mine is still a baby and stays in his shell, only coming out for an occassional feeding at night when we are sleeping. (I know this because of the empty shells from the crabs) otherwise you wouldn't know he was there. Any tips?
