I'm from Dunedin, a city located south-east of the South Island of New Zealand, caught this while bottom fishing last night.
Stayed up and found this very resourceful forum, now just wondering if you guys can help me identify my octopus.
Would like to know what it is, is it suitable as a pet and any diet requirements beside shrimp, clam and smaller crabs.
It has pink/purle to white suckers, arm length ~13cm (5 inches), mantle ~6cm (>2 inches), not aggressive but adventurous (escaped twice from bucket)
Thanks in advance
