Flavor of Tako (+ pics!)

Here's a thought....Several of my octopuses came to me missing limbs and then turned out they had fertile eggs. Could these injuries be from an encounter with a male octopus????

Mucktopus, my girl aked how I know it's a female and I realized I couldn't tell her! What gives it away? Any source for an updated taxonomy of abdopus?

Jean, I will definitely go bigger than fifty gallons (not including the sump). I have a couple to pick from that are running right now, matured, and never been subjected to copper.

Thank you all for your input!

Glad about that!!

You can really only sex a mature animal. Immature males and females will look the same, a maturing or mature male will have a modified arm (or arms) called the hectocotylus. Don't know what form it taked in this species tho'!

See my new thread in Octopus Care titled EGGS!!! for a big update on Tako. Kinda glad I didn't spend thousands on a new tank for a one inch octo!!!
