    Hey Guys, I have this posted on reef2reef as well, but I was made aware of this forum and suggested I post here also. About a month ago my wife and I got a Brown Pacific Octopus. We had done our research and had a tank setup waiting until we found one. We have had it for about a month now...

    Creating an octopus den with PVC pipe?

    Hello all! I have two research projects where I'd be sampling octopuses at sea (and then release them) as well as to keep mothers in the pots and transfer them to the aquaculture facility to study them. For these to happen, that means I'd need to create my own octopus pots, or a den for them...

    Help needed with my Sepia Bandensis Dwarf Cuttlefish eggs

    tank size for hatchlings?

    Hello! I'm working with Octopus bimaculoides and looking at trying to rear some fertilized eggs. I would like to raise them in different tanks than the adults are housed in for logistical reasons (mostly to prevent them from going into the filtration system, but also to better track their...

    My octopus laid eggs... and they just hatched! What do I do?!

    Hi All - I have a warm water indo-pacific octopus (that's all the LFS was able to tell me about species). About a week after I got it it disappeared into the back of the tank where it laid eggs. From everything I read, I was pretty bummed as I figured it was just going to wither away and die...
