vulgaris

I noticed Oct Paul is an vulgaris too ？ They look the same. During the 30 days my oct have gained about 20% on weight. He really eats a lot.Even 13 crabs in 2 days once. As the system of my tank is not strong enough. NO3 and PO4 may become a problem.

I had received my oct and kept them for two days. Today I cut a mantis shrimp to half to feed them,the male one ate only a part and the female one took all. There are still a problem:the female one get hurt on the back of mantle（skin is not cover ）,I can see she is sensitive about the wound，but...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I apologize if this is in the wrong section; just finding the New Thread button was quite a journey for me. I've been reading up on octopus care for a little while now and have decided to get one but I still have a few questions I was hoping I could get some help...

My new Octopus Frank. Please identify, not shy at all. Appears very territorial. How often should I feed him. He was supposed to come from the gulf of Mexico. Thank you!

Hello all. Its been some time since I have been around. Lots of things changed for me in the past year but not my love for all octopus. Casper was found in a shell by a friend of mine. I am 99% sure its a Merc. Very different then all my other mercs. I know the first couple of weeks they can...

Ok so this is my first post although I have been following this board for a while. The title might be a little dramatic. Basically my wife suprised me this morning with a new octopus delivery for xmas. I had been planning on getting one eventually but wasn't really ready to pull the plug. I...

Ok, well I just might set the record for negative replies on this thread.... Here goes, New to Ceph care and know nothing other than what I've browsed here. I have a new but 3month established 120g tank. The plan has always been to build a really awesome octopus tank....good so far? I live in...

Hello all! My name is Jack! Been an aquarist for a long time. But after my divorce, i moved from florida to ny and left my 170 gallon and many other small aquariums behind... for the past month ive been getting a small aquarium ready, no fish only 6 hermit crabs, some live sand, some live...

I posted an ID request on this little guy thinking an odd looking O.briareus or a very long armed O.vulgaris from the initial preshipment photos. This is definitely not a species I have kept but I am still in a quandry as to what it might be. O. defilippi fits the long arm to mantle ratio and...

As may already know, I purchased what I believe is an Octopus Vulgaris a few days ago. While I will not keep a very detailed journal on this guy, I will still post things from time to time.

I pulled my remaining Stone crab traps, and came up with no octopuses so I broke down and got my next O.Briareus from Tom. :sagrin: But it appears I got a Hummelincki instead! WooHoo! Acclimation was fast as the octopus was only in route for about an hour, and the parameters of the water in...

i just got this guy today and its my first! i did a lot of research but apparently not enough. the supplier tells me its a Vulgaris and it should only get about a foot long so i figured that would be perfect for my 75g. now i read if its what the supplier tells me its is, its going to get up to...
