Answer back ASAP: Is my octopus sick?

[Squirrel1]

Hi,
Unfortunately my octopus, Schnitzel, seems to be sick. Do you recognize any of these issues? Maybe senescence?
1. Out all day and night
2. Less active, not moving within six inches of where sticking to the wall
3. Much less color changes, stays a milky beige-white
4. Hasn't excepted food of any sort for over 1 week

Water conditions are all fine.
Please answer back ASAP

Yes, senescence looks a lot like this.

 

[Squirrel1]

Would any offered foods be accepted or what foods may he possibly want to eat?

Yes, senescence looks a lot like this.

Is there any way to help stop or at least halt the senescence? What foods may he like?

I'm pretty sure they do not feed during senescence. This is the end of their life stage, I don't think you can stop it. Sensescene is the deathbed for ocotpus as they are highly aged and at the end of their life cycle.

How long have you had Schnitzel? And do you know his species?

But I agree, all of these symptoms sound like senescence.

Abdopus acueleatus, male, I’ve had him for maybe a month and ~4 cm mantlesize.
