Hi all
I've been on your great site for several months now and have just joined.
I have a quick question - just bought home a baby Octo (not sure of what species but will post pics soon - 1 cm mantle size - still deciding on a name). He/she is crawled up into a tiny ball with it's legs curled inwards and it has turned white. I've read this is not a good sign? It was not like this at the store. Is it just acclimatising or should I be worried?
A little about the tank:
48 x 28 high x 22 wide - approx 450ltrs (120 gallon i think) and a sump/refugium
Protein skimmer
4 T5 lights
30 kg live rock
Has been cycling for 2.5 months
Keeping him in a plastic tank within the main tank to make sure he is feeding
Am I missing any equipment?
Apparently he is feeding on Mysis shrimp and small hermit crabs.
Thanks again for this great site and the information - it has greatly helped in preparing for the new addition to the family.
Cheers
