hello everyone!
My name is Rod and I am here not by choice but by luck...or lack there off...nothing against an octopus but this one is in my tank as a hitchhicker (?), must have come in some coral or who knows...as an egg????
just saw it a couple of days ago chasing a emerald crab and haven't seen it since...small and has a mantle that looks like a clam! i have noticed som piles of empty shells that once had crabs in them...and both my urchins died....
how can this octopus be in my tank??? I haven't added anything to my tank in about 4 weeks?? What was it eating untill now? how do I get it out!?
my tank is a mixed reef 75gal open top tank...not good mix for an octopus...should i screen the top for safety? I don't want it to die, I would rather capture it alive and give it to someone that wants it!
someone told me to use the coke bottle method so i'll give that a shot...any ideas? if i ever can see this guy again, i will post pictures!
