Well I decided today after a few years of having a fish and coral aquarium to take the chance and get an octopus. It's a fairly little guy (about the size of a quarter all shriveled up) but wow is it energetic. It has adapted well to its new home, even feasting on a hermit crab only an hour after introducing it to my aquarium. You guys are right about red lights! Once i tried my new red led light, the octo didn't hesitate and came right out of its hiding place and pounced on one of the hermit crabs, dragging it back into its hiding spot among a pile of ricks i stacked up for it. Another neat thing it did was when I put my hand in the tank to flip a hermit crab back up right, the octo darted out of the rocks and up towards the top to my hand and rested at the top of the tank. I took that time to make a video of it. Hopefully I can figure out how to download it on here. The guy i bought the octo from told me it's a brown pacific octopus but it's so small, it's hard for me to tell exactly, especially since this is my 1st one. All advice and opinions appreciated. Thanks
