hi all, after 18 months of setting up a tank, getting distracted with a stunning blue spot stingray, and patiently searching... we finally have an Octo in HK. He came from a fishing wharf near where I live in Hong Kong with my family, and he was destined for a dinner table, so we hope to make him feel lucky in our home!
Usual question from the experts: any idea on species? He ranges from grey to red, generally dark but flashes pale grey when jetting. Legs are 20+cm and mantle is 12cm so not small with big eyes.
A couple of interesting observations: firstly he is an amazing rock arranger, forming a clever cave out of some quite large lumps of live rock, and as soon as he finished this construction he decided to suspend himself bat-like from another rock facing the busiest part of the room. He has coolly taken prawns from a long stick while in this position. Weird!
