I also saw L82Rise (and weighted down with his free finds - unfortunately I forgot to take a picture).

Additionally, I carried three others with me vicariously. The photo in the hotel with the "Octopus Whisperer" Mug is LMecher in effigy (Thank you again and again Linda for this prized posession). The photo with me presenting the bok to Martin Moe represents Nancy and Colin (Richard is the photographer :heee:

Tonight when I got home after a long day at the beach I found my brittle star fish dead missing all five tentacles and all ripped apart. So my question is who is the brutal murderer of this inocent brittle starfish?

The suspects are the following:

A) The sea urchin.
B) The hummelincki octopus.
C) The red serpent starfish (which was found right next to the body).
D) Myself for not taking good care of the brittle starfish.

I'm considering finding out more about owning an octopus. So far all the information is a little overwhelming :lol: so, before I dig any deeper into what kind of commitment this would take, I need to know if I could even afford it. I'm a student and a single mother, so my monthly budget doesn't have much space for a VERY expensive pet. Start up costs for setting up the tank and getting the octopus isn't a problem, since it's something I can save for. But roughly how much is the monthly upkeep? About how much does an octopus eat, where can I get food (just buy fish at a fish store, or what?), and how much does it cost to feed your octopodes? Are there any medical things that might come put that I'd need to budget for (like how a fish sometimes needs stress coat?)

And this may be a stupid question, but how exactly do you get saltwater? Do you have to buy special saltwater, or is it just normal water and table salt? Or a special salt? And if so, how much does that cost a month?

I've only had experience with mammals, lizards, and freshwater aquariums, so I really have no idea what the financial commitment is going to be.

Thank you,
