Colin's Cuttlefish and Octopus Photos

by Colin Dunlop - 2004

Ever since I became interested in keeping cephalopods as pets I have tried very hard to help out other people as much as I can. This has included answering questions on message boards and posting pictures wherever possible.

My original site, soon to be discontinued, was such an area for me to post pics of my cephalopod pets. By moving my site to TONMO.com I aim to set up an area which will strive to answer lots of commonly asked questions regarding cephalopod ID, husbandry and any other bits of information that comes up in the future.

Feel free to offer comments, contributions and suggestions via direct message: @Colin.

Some species of octopus will become so trusting they will feed from your hand.

Markings like the blue "eyespots" in this picture are helpful in the identification of a species (this is a Octopus filosus).
