Was given an octopus that came in as a hitchhiker on my friends live rock, its about 1" head and 4-5" including legs. Currently residing in a 20g tank with 25lbs lr and 20lbs ls. Eats from the hand, hasnt inked, and is very active even during the day, alreayd comming to the front top and begging for food after only 1 week.
the videos are between 10-40 secs each adn quality varies as sometimes its hard to get a good angle and a clear shot. You will need media player (i believe 9.0 may be required but older ones should work). The putfile servers are sometimes slow so it may take a few minutes to load, if you are interested in octopus or plan on purchasing one its definitely worth the wait.
hope you like,

the first video opened up for me and I got to see him. The other ones would not. Pretty cool, especially since he was a hitchiker. :joy:

A hitch hiker that ate approx. 100 assorted hermits and smails aswell as 3 shrimp and a algae eating blenny before he was caught outta my friends 90g reef LOL then when I put it in my 20g semi reef it ate both turbo snails and a chocolate chip starfish ! but its by far worth it for his activity.
By the way, the other videos are long, like a minute, so if the server is slow it might take like 5 minutes to dl (literally), ill take some short <10sec ones and see if i can get some clear pics, altho pics do him NO justice.

ya hes fine, i have an eclipse hood which is pretty tight itself, and have all holes tied up with plastic and duct tape, plus teh waterlevel is artificially low which also raises o2 content as octos need lots of oxygen.

actually, it just did the other day for the first time when me and a couple buds ran into the room to get some refreshments, its really thick, more like a mucus than anything, and easily cleaned up by the filter within minutes.
