Thanks! cuttlegirl Feb 27th, 2007, 11:40am :welcome: You might want to try searching Cephbase - they have an image database that might help narrow down the options. Do you have any idea where the octopus originated? http://www.cephbase.utmb.edu/imgdb/imgdb.cfm monty Feb 27th, 2007, 11:48am you might want to post this in "ID requests" as well, since I think some of the ID experts pay more attention over there...

At this size, it won't last more than a couple of months before it lays eggs (if a female) or scenesces. Roy |
