This site advertises the octopus it sells as O. briareus, but the ones I got were O. hummelincki, and the ones others get that I've talked to have also been O. hummelincki. Either way, O. hummelincki or O. briareus, or Abdopus aculeatus make good octopus pets. Again, I would request to get the...

Cephalopods are the reason I got into this hobby. I'm just a regular hobbyist. I vicariously live through the studies and adventures of Dr. Roy Caldwell and Steve O'Shea and a few other Marine Bio professionals on TONMO and that's the only reason I know so much about them. I've kept 5 species of...

I wouldn't keep an octopus in anything smaller than 55 gallons. They "can" be kept in smaller tanks. Great Dane's can fit in my closet too, but that doesn't make it a suitably sized habitat for them to spend the rest of their lives in. Water quality is also a big concern with cephalopods. They...

I'd say octos are easier to keep than ponies so as long as you seal your tank up and get a young/healthy specimen, you will enjoy it. Just don't get a dwarf. They are extremely nocturnal. Abdopus aculeatus is quite day-active, but they are hard to find as juveniles, most seem to be mature when...

Could be zoa eating nudibranchs. Or not. Google "Sea Slug Forum". They have a species list with pics.

The Stomatopod.com people also measure the specimen, ID the exact species, can tell male from female, and note which appendages (if any) it is missing so you know EXACTLY what you are going to get.

Introduce them to some low-life losers who have no future because of their lack of interest in education. Dream girl - forget about it. Nice car - forget about it. Nice house - forget about it. The future you always dreamed of - forget about it.

I see the tears are still being shed.

Zooplankton, phytoplankton, cyclopseeze, skip the brine. I'd suggest putting in some macroalgae of sorts. They seem to do well in a refugium type setting.

They grow to about the size of a cat. I can tell you that much.

Where there's a will there's a way. Amazing that it has survived.

If you've ever used any copper based treatments in the tank, it won't be safe for a reef tank. Just FYI.

Just let it adjust. As long as your perimeters are in check it will recover and adapt. Monti's are hard to kill.

Deeper tanks are better also. Less gas-bubble/bloat problems. Ponies are a lot of work. Just FYI.

From Walt Smith: Dear All, It is a sorry fact that the import of all CITES related items from Tonga have been banned by the US Fish and Wildlife Services effective immediately. I was in Tonga on the morning I got a call from my customer and told me the news. Essentially what has happened is that...

These regions did not submit their CITES paperwork on time, is my understanding.

Turn off your pumps while using the juice.
