thats awesome! i was going to get one but decided against it cause of the size and i was afraid i wouldnt see it much.... very cool.. what size tank is he in??
 
a two footer in a home tank would be something else. cool pickup and good luck
 
is it possible to get a brackish water octopus? where and how and how long do they live? and how big are they? i've always wanted one, is there such a thing as a dwarf octopus, would like a really small one which doesn't grow very much.
 
Everything I have read says most octopi have a fairly short lifespan and are great escape artists, even seen video of these guys climbing out of tanks like it was nothing, I think it would be cool to have one if I could keep it alive for any length of time. PICS send pics!!
