Our house robot, @octobot (which is enabled by Chat-GPT4), has offered the following summary of @ACC4's journal for her pet bimac, Raccoon. The original journal and thread can be found here.
For those unacquainted with the nuanced world of octopus keeping, let's introduce Raccoon. She's a...
I purchased my Brown Octopus from my LFS in August. About two weeks ago my Octopus stopped excepting food. I noticed yesterday that she was guarding her eggs.
What can I feed the babies when they hatch?
This website has helped me so much in my octopus journey, so I made an account! I currently have a Caribbean dwarf octopus named Buddy who’s either O. mercatoris or O. Joubini I hear they get mixed up a lot. Also have a question for the community while I’m hear! Buddy used to be somewhat active...

I was planning not to make an account here for around another year, but it seems like a certain hitchhiker had other plans. I got a new live rock for my 10 gallon reef aquarium today, and when I was placing the rock in, I saw something brown and squishy with arms with suckers, and it grabbed my...
