I've recently published an article on our Ceph Care Home Page. It's called Checklist: Things to Think About Before You Get An Octopus as a Pet. Colin has also added some material to this checklist.

It's meant to be used with Colin's Equipment List as a guide for anyone thinking about getting an octopus and will help steer you in the right direction.

Have a look at the checklist, maybe even if you're not thinking of getting an octo right away:
