if you're possitive it was an Octopus, you're in for a frustrating experiance.
Check online for fish traps. Also, you can wait an hour or so after you turn out the tank lights and search the tank with a red lens flashlight. Once you find the octo, you can try to capture with a net.
Also, to fully be able to help you, I'm gonna need a larger picture of your avatar.

put a small fiddler or emerald crab in the bottle and only make the hole a bit bigger than a pencil.

me too...to get an octopus thats healthy...thats a rock'n good deal... I would just see if he hurts anything of yours...normally they are extremely expensive and hard to keep... i'd just enjoy the fact that you have one
I know I would....but again...I dont have any thing small in my tank....just bigger stuff..
Good luck!

omg luuuuccccckkkyyyy!!!!!! If i were you i would go use one of my tanks or go buy one and set it up just for the octopus if it is healthy and expecially if you have had it in there for awhile thats a good sign that it probablly would live lucky i wish i were you or atleast i had that happen to me!

Whoa! You're in Australia? If that octopus has some pretty blue rings on it, run! :scared:

But the blue rings and spots are rarely noticed until it is too late! When the octo feels threatened that is when the rings are visable, and in most cases that is too late because the bite follows. No cure and 100% fatal I believe so do be careful before removing it. They are located in the southern waters of australia i do believe.
