im sure everyone has heard this one before, i just came home from my LFS and the owner picked up an octopus since i had mentioned i was very intererested in the species. Of course he doesn't know what species it is or its origin. However that is not the main issue. My tank is now 6 months old. Lots of rock,30 hermits, 6 other assorted crabs, 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 cleaner, 1 pistol and goby,2 clowns (my wifes choice!) no coral. My setup is 65 gallon with sump and berlin xl protein skimmer. coralife 36" lights ( i read lighting is not too crucial). My question is im sure that putting an octopus into this tank is going to be like a buffet. It seems to me that this setup is adequate for adopting an octopus but the question still remains about the current tennants. Maybe a 24 gallon nano cube? I just want to know if scrapping my current reef tank is worth an octopus. Any suggestions on my situation would be greatly appreciated. I'm so torn since this whole time I've been pationate about octopus.
