well as of last night conans wandering days may finally be over. since intoduction into the tank conan spent the nights finding new places to sleep during the day. yesterday conan spent the day collecting shells and peices of rock and last night finally started establishing a den. hopefully the octo just got tired of not having a home and its not one of those "oh yeah forgot to let you know... im a female with eggs now im gonna lay them where you cant see them and dissapear from sight" octopus. anyway ill try to get some pics tonight

Well, if it is a female with eggs, at least they'd be large enough to raise!

thats true

well here are the pics. these were from tonight during den construction time. managed to get a few shots off right before the entrance was closed up.

He's very cute! I hope to have my 75 up and running this weekend. I'm going into tremors from lack of an octopus in the household!!!!

Nice,look's small how big is s/he?

mantle is about 2 inches now legs are really really long

yea mine has done the same thing, he/she has spent the past 3 or 4 days building a den. I can see its eyes but it hasn't come out for a couple of days..

wow great colors =) what breed is he? and how big is your tank?

Haha, breed.

It's a briareus.
