I got a new octopus about a little over a week ago at a LFS. I waited to tell you guys becuase he wasn't eating until yesterday and I didn't know if he would make it. I guess he was holding out for live food. It surprised me alittle because I'm pretty sure the LFS feeds frozen shrimp and the other one I got from them ate frozen right away. Unfortunately I ordered the crabs on a friday night, so they didn't ship until monday and got here yesterday.
Anyway he is doing great now and I've named him Jet. I just fed him and when he saw the crab he did the most amazing color flashes I've seen in an octopus. Exactly half his body was pulsing through different colors while the other half stayed one color.
Unfortunatly I don't know what species. They said he wouldn't get much bigger so I may not have much time with him. But they don't seem to know much about octopus so I can't be sure. I try to get pictures soon.
