Hello. I'm taking an animal behavior class, for which I've decided to keep an octopus to study. I've let the tank cycle with liverock for a couple of months, and I've added 12 yellowtail damsels to help cycle the tank, and perhaps feed the octo, although I don't count on him being able to catch them. My tank is about 1.5x2x4 ft. Could I fit an O. Vulgaris there, or would I be better off with a bimac or joubini (dwarf)? I've seen videos of vulgaris camouflage in action, and had hoped to keep one for that reason--do bimacs and dwarfs change color and texture as extraordinarily? I really want a vulgaris, but my impression is that my tank isn't large enough. Any insights as to my options here woud be greatly appreciated.
