Hello everyone!
Received the long awaited call from the LFS and picked up a little octopus that seems healthy. From what I can tell, he(?) looks most like O. Mercatoris, but I wasn't sure. Still waiting to hear from the guy about where they ordered from. Any thoughts? M/F, Species, etc.
Also if it is a mercatoris, I thought they preferred a smaller tank, and I have a 90 gallon with about 70 lbs of LR. I did see him(?) yesterday around 9pm by shining a red light for about 20 minutes with all other lights out. Am I going to have a constant hider, and is there anything I can do about it? Also any input on feeding a really small octo would be great. He rejected the tiny piece of krill I offered. I have some ghost shrimp in a freshwater tank, but they're pretty big compared to the octo.
