heres some pics. still trying to come up with a name. this has got to be the most outgoing octopus ive seen. since its introduction to the tank yesterday its already eating from a stick and eating frozen foods, plays tugowar. its finally made a home after munching down on a blue crab yesterday. not very smart though. i put in 2 chonch shells for dens which my octos have always used so this one goes over to the shell looks at it for a second... then decides to just dig out from under it... possibly the hardest thing to do to make a home but what can you do...

Since it's pretty but not too bright, I'm tempted to suggest "Paris" or "Britney," but that's too mean to the poor octopus.

What type is it?

edit: ya gotta be pretty fast on the draw to beat Shipposhack, apparently. But I used italics even if I finished in 2nd place :grin:

i will consider those names though... lol. i was also thinking its pretty aggressive and not too bright so also falls along the lines of say... mike tyson?

why mike tyson?Is your ear missing?
