Live Aquaria has octopuses for sale.

I ordered one and it should be here by 12 today.

Cool! Good luck.

I am very very sad to post this but Live Aquaria has Caribbean octopus available . If only I had my 75 gallon set up I could order it... Of course if I had my 75 gallon set up I would have gotten that second octopus from Joe-Ceph and it would be full any way.

At this point for me, if I REALLY wanted to order it, I would have to move baby to my nano tank and rehome the fish already in the tank.... my husband would strenuously object.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.

Live Aquaria is expecting a Bock's Pygmy Octopus in their Divers Den section today. Should be up around 530 tonight or so.

I though Rich and Roy were both looking desperately for one of these O. Boki.

I hope it's not another Mercatoris Like I got. I still feel a little ripped off that I paid $130 for a $40 octo.

I would call them out on it. Misidentifying an octopus in the Divers Den really isnt cool. I dont blame you for feeling ripped off I would too.

 

[CaptFish]

Too late now I'm sure.

But the purchaser of this octo should surly call and ask. I'm not sure who you would call though, The people that take the orders and answer the phone aren't even in the same state as actual animals and the person doing the IDing.

FYI: at Saltwaterfish.com today: "Octopus Pacific. This animal is solitary and can quickly change colors using specialized skin cells called chromatophores. Will get up to 4.73 inches in body size with tentacle spread of 24 inches.Octopus MUST be kept in a tank by itself with a very secured top so it cannot escape. These are intelligent creatures and will find a way out if given a chance. "

Price listed is $74.99

Interesting post. In the past they have been hummelincki but they have changed out their "borrowed" picture and removed reference to the eye spots in addition to adding the word Pacific (prior investigations suggested the hummelincki were from Haiti). I don't know what to think.

Wonderpus photogenicus

Found this beauty in The Coral Reef, Knoxville TN. This store belongs to SA. I don't know if it will be up for sale but my guess is it would be around $300 if so.
