I am new to this board, but have been a longtime Octo junkie. Ever since I was a kid I have loved them, and when I truly understood just how intellegent they can be, my interest was doubled. I am a hobbyist and I am doing a lot of research before I place an Octo in my home, so I get things right the first time.

I have many questions, and will no doubt post a bit.

Thanks,

I grew up in the Newport Beach area of California and somehow wound up in Minnesota. I used to have an occasional red octpus for a pet (We lived by some wonderful tide pools in Corona del Mar) and got some nasty little bites over the years.
I actually took a couple photos of a large octopus at the Mall of America's "Unserwater Adventure" tanks. And If I can upload them I would love to know what species they are.
This looks like a wonderful site and group.

And the other photo!

Nice pics
