Hi
Can anyone help me please I.D my new octopus , i bought it but the guy in the pet shop didn't know its I.D , its not very small it changes colour , i have him 2 days now , he is doing ok in his new Nano tank , he came out yesterday after my lights were turned off , but for few minutes only eat my arrow crab and went back to his hiding place.:goofysca:
he looks alot like this one: A. aculeatus?
I have no pic's yet but this is a video of him when i just got him and he was still in the bag.

Well, Roy IDed the one that looks similar as Abdopus aculeatus so perhaps that's a good guess...

I downloaded it and took a look. I would say it is Abdopus aculeatus. I have kept one of these myself. I would also say that the one you have is fairly old from the size, so I wouldn't expect to live more than a few months.

I feel good now that im going to loose him soon :goofysca:

Im going to post pic's of him today while he is still alive.

The pose with the popped up eyes, color and purple around the suckers would give a big yes to aculeatus (I can only see one photo). I don't see the curled up arm Taollan pickup but be happy if it is male as it won't brood for the last month of its life. The young have not been raised successfully so there is no advantage to obtaining a female.
