So I've been toying with the idea of getting an octopus for about a year and I finally decided take the plunge. I live on Oahu and I go spear fishing all year round and see octopus all over the place. Well the other day we found a small little guy and decided to bring him home.
I have a 55 gallon tank with a custom sump and protein skimmer that has been running for about six months. I use natural saltwater. I did have a few questions...
1. How long should it take for my octopus to start eating? I have stocked the tank with baby hermit crabs and he has not showed any interest. He has been in the tank for a week and all the hermit crabs are still there.
2. Would anyone be able to tell me what species he is?
Thanks Jesse
