Did our octopus go nocturnal???
For almost a week, we rarely saw a glimpse of Omikron. Then she kind of disappeared three days or so, did not even show up for feeding. (ok, there might be still some small crabs and shrimp in the tank.) After recalling that we last saw her shortly before and after light changes, we shortened the daytime light period and added a dim red light for the night. And in the first night, there she was, moving around vividly in the tank, even doing some things we never saw before, like jetting through the "open water" spaces of the tank. She really did pretty well, although she looked small and a bit skinny (writing this, I realize it sounds a bit stupid, but that was the impression...)
Very strange, though, was that she did not want to interact with us in the tank - no touching; she let us touch her arms when hanging at the pane, but did not react - her suckers were not active at all. That was weird (and again worrisome in a way). So, at the moment, we can't really figure out what's going on.
Please note: she is NOT pale and NOT moving around in the tank aimlessly.
