He must have been hungry this morning because when I came out into the livingroom he was plastered to the front of tank. Took one look at me and darted for cover. But curiosity or hunger got the better of him because when I started tapping my fingers on the glass, he reemerged and came to the front of the tank to check out the camera.

Oh, my gosh, he makes me want to have an octopus!!! :smile:

cool, that has great clearness

Lovely shot Carol!

Nice close up, Carol! Very attractive octopus!

Great shot, awesome detail!

There's quite a bit there in colour and texture shouting vulgaris! isn't there Carol? Does behaviour match up at all by now? Just curious...

What a gorgeous creature!

I'm with Jen(n?), you guys are turning me to the dark side, lol!!

Hmmmm....the texture and color changes are amazing but would a vulgaris baby be so skittish? The skittishness reminds me of a dwarf species. And do vulgaris have eyespots? I don't think Biddle does. Wouldn't that be something....a first for me....

Would a baby vulgaris be this skittish? He has the markings of the link including what I thought were 2 odd eyespots behind his eyes on his mantle like this pic......

"We need a bigger boat"

I was going to ask if you were planning to add a swimming pool anytime soon but OB beat me to it!

Biddle likes scallops!!! I guess I will cross that bridge as it comes. Right now he's ok in the 27 gal, (This tank size is not recommended, especially if Biddle turns out to be what we think he may be) and I do have a local aquarium, which if he turns out to be vulgaris, between the one over the bridge and Camden, I am sure one of them would take him if need be. We shall see.....very exciting if this indeed is what he is. And I do have wind of a 150 gal someone at work may possably give me! :)

...Give?

You gotta love friends like that!

Nothing like a relapse of MTS:wink:
