A Krakenito has arrived!
It is that time of the year again (baby octo hatchings) and I was octoless so was delighted that KPAquatics let me know they had an O. briareus available if I wanted it. (Sadly, I missed their email that informed me about an O. hummelincki). This tiny (guessing it is a month or less old - was a hitchhiker on the live rock they collected from their farm two weeks ago) arrived in great water and was very alert. I offered a very small live crab during acclimation. It showed no real interest but when the crab came too close it became supper with the flick of an arm.
He/she had to go in one of the large tanks. Normally I would put one this small (guessing it is a month or less old) in the 40 and transfer after it was larger but Jabba (cuttlefish) is still with me. He is old and mostly blind so transferring him was not an option.
PS: I believe they still have a pair of O. mercatoris if anyone is looking for a Caribbean dwarf. See the availability thread for photos.
