I just returned from northern Queensland where I was able to collect several A. aculeatus. One was in the act of preying on a large (7 cm) Gonodactylus smithii) which it had bitten and was holding, but which was not yet dead. Stomatopods make up a substantial part of the diet of my octopus species - and many stomatopods eat octopus. As usual, it all has to do with relative size.
