Click here to confirm your find.

Journal forthcoming when she has a name. We have considered Ethyl (in honor of Octane of course) and Serendipity but the jury is still out

Unfortunately, the consideration for naming her Serendipity is the manner of acquisition. I will post the story sometime tonight, assuming a name is finally chosen (hard to do when you can't find her).

If I had not been watching, I would not have found her here

Thought i would start this thread up again( D,

).

Find the bimac!

Monty is one of the, if not THE, best at camouflage of all the octos I have kept. He is still in a very small tank and we have trouble finding him when he does not want to be seen. I will suggest that the first "octopus" you find is a ruse and is one of my "octopus rocks", one of the few that even photographs to look something like an octo. It took Neal 5 minutes of looking in the right place in the aquarium before he could finally see Monty on the rock.

To check your eye sight, go to Monty's journal.

LHS Underneath the octo shaped rock, a little below halfway down?????

**DWhatley** · Oct 02, '10, 11:04pm

Jean, I think that IS the octopus rock

and what you think is the rock is the octopus but look at the link (click on the words Monty's Journal) to see if I have diagnosed your guess correctly.

Do I spy an eye peeking out of the cave at the bottom of the photo, just to the right of center?

**Thales** · Oct 03, '10, 4:23pm

Middle left, on the bottom of the slanted 'canyon'?

**DWhatley** · Oct 03, '10, 6:55pm

No cave in use (it think you are looking at at water spot

). He is pretty much out in the open. Thales, I don't know where the crayon is. The only thing I could call close would be the orange feather duster but that is bottom left. You are in the right area with the middle left though. I really did not think this one was hard. I almost didn't post it because, to me, he shows up pretty clearly once you click on the photo. He is much less evident to the naked eye when he does not want to be seen.

Canyon not crayon... but I see the little guy, he is darker than the surrounding rock.

**Thales** · Oct 03, '10, 7:32pm

I don't think its that hard either - I just didn't want to put a big old arrow on the photo pointing him out in case others wanted to play!

OB · Oct 03, '10, 7:33pm

Same here....

**DWhatley** · Oct 03, '10, 11:11pm

Canyon not crayon

Then I think you actually found the "faux octopus" rock. There are several in this tank complete with "eyes" and suckers

There is a "big old arrow" on his thread linked to in the original post.

CG, that is why I thought it was too easy. With the eyes he does not show up that way but the way my camera enhances colors a little (especially if you direct the focus to one spot) he shows up more in the picture than he does in life. This one has been invisibly in front of us so many times we challenge the other to find him when he decides to merge with the rock. He is especially good at looking like the fuzzy algae that grows near the top of the tank.
