Hey everyone! I just got a new octopus from Saltwaterfish.com and they are calling it a caribbean reef octopus. I am not sure iwhat that really means as it seems it could be a couple of different types from what I have read on line here. I have it in a 55 gallon tank with a over spec filter and protein skimmer. He is in the tank with live rock that has bristle worms. THere are nassarius snails and small reef hermit crabs in there for his feasting. I had a bimac that did very, very well until I made the mistake of feeding him goldfish. I still feel so badly about that. He was doing beautifully , had tripled in size and then I thought I needed to give him bigger fish. I didn't realize the distributor of said fish had treated them with the copper sulfate. Man I hate to have keeld such a glorious creature through my own stupidity. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions for this new species of octopus for me? This one is much less friendly, goes waaaaay flat b ut is happily eating the snails. Thanks for all your help I so appreciate it!
