Early this afternoon we spotted three of the six briareus babies. And they're not even supposed to be day active!
They are mostly hiding in shallow holes in the live rock and don't seem to make an effort to hide completely. When they hunt, they do so very agressively, sometimes taking on amphipods so big they can't kill them. At times they move very quickly. The little octos travel about by walking or jetting. Two times I saw them on the glass and have photos. So they've survived this long - I'm happy for them.
