[Octopus]: Ghost--O. Briareus

Also gave him a tube with a air picket to make it float hes playing around with that now next will be putting food in it so see if he can figure out how to get to it.
 
Sadly, I am afraid ghost may be older than I originally hoped. That "hiccup" action, the prominence of the eyes and the way his mantle is kind of loose and not firm are all signs that he is aging. I noticed the eyes before but, as I mentioned, stills don't give as much information as a longer observation. With good water, this species seems to go through a longer senescent period (or start earlier) than the smaller animals so I don't expect death to be immediate. Animals are often a bit more active during this period so don't hesitate to interact. I have often wondered if their skin gets "itchy" and may be the reason they seem to enjoy being "petted" once they know you are not interested in eating them.
