So, no luck with hand feeding but bonding is hopefully an ongoing process.
He still seems very curious about me, and increasingly less shy, but still to shy to make physical contact.
His main hours of activity seem to be, with some consistency, between 3am and 7am.
I am looking to buy some live food for it. I just bought some live brine shrimp that I am going to keep in my main tank, isolated in a special net thing for raising newborn fish.
I am thinking of fiddler/feeder crabs, but am concerned they are too big or that they pose a threat with their claws. Still looking into it.
I have bought some corals, which is the next stage for my tank. Being that my octo is nocturnal, this should work out fine...hoping he wont tear them up but the ones I bought were all cheap and can afford to be lost if it doesn't work out.
Corals I purchased, that all appear safe from what I was reading:
- Umbrella Leather
- Tonga Super Green Mushroom
- Ricordea Yuma
- Green Frilly Mushroom
I added some videos of him being active to my gallery as well.

edit: So it seems video tags are not yet implemented. Not sure how to embed the videos from my gallery in a forum post.
