my octopus hasent come out too much in the past 2 weeks I havent realy seen him crawl al over the glass and be about. Instead he is hiding. what should I do? oh I have a bunch of crads from the beach to feed him. :hmm: I just dont now if he is dead or not.

Are there signs he's still eating? If so, I would leave him alone. Sometimes they take longer to adjust and disturbing his environment is just going to freak him out again. Patience!!!! :smile:

it seems like he is the shrimp disipear.

Are you watching at night with a red light? You may have a noctural octopus and you just don't see him during the day.

my lights are oposite to day so when it is night the aqarium lights are on and when it is day the lights are off I can see him 24/7.

such a releaf I finaly found my octopus he is in his den with 2 crab shells if frunt of it he started to move a little bit wile I looked at him I am grabbing a few more crabs to see if they incorage him to come out :mrgreen:

Glad you found your octo.

Maybe it would come out more if you had a more natural lighting scheme - lights on during the day and dark except for red light at night. You might have success with moonlights (blue) at night.

I tried that but when I turn on the lights in my room it messes up the night for my octopus. Thats why I think he is hiding
