I'm new to the forums. I have kept an octopus before and had good sucess with it(common brown). Ok I have a dilemma! My LFS has a wunderpuss for sale. He called it a Ribbon Octopus, but I'm about 75% sure it is a wunderpuss not a Mimic. This guy has this beautiful creature in a 3 gallon eclipse aquarium on his desk selling it as a "octopus setup" for 250.00, or you can buy the animal for 180.00. I'm pretty ticked about the whole deal! I'm seriously thinking about obtaining this lil guy (btw his head is about half the size of a golf ball). I can setup a 55 gallon tank real quick with the help of a friend. I was gonna do a heavy sand bed with plants and some rubble rock. I would have to buy the "setup" first then set the tank up and introduce him to it. My friend is gonna help me with the cycle by providing me with the sand from his 375 gallon reef. I cant put him into my reef tank because it is too small and is a open top aquarium. I'm torn here because I don't want to see someone new to the hobby purchase this, kill the animal, and ruin their interest in the hobby. But I am also unsure of doing this because of the money it will cost and Im unsure about the species.
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED
BTW nice site I love to see so many people dedicated to ceph care, I love these animals very much.
