Well, thanks to Sirreal, we have a new friend!
We made the trip down to pick up our buddy and he looked fantastic. Color changes looked great. The shop owner said he has been eating well.
We drip acclimated him and then introduced him to the tank in the pet carrier with a pvc pipe.
He curled up into the pipe and remained there for the evening.
Some time during the night, he relocated, and I haven't been able to catch a glimpse yet. I am sure, like most, he will hide for a while before showing himself again.
He is already much larger than Octonaut ever was. I am estimating mantle size at about 1" from top of eyes to tip of mantle. Arm span is larger than my hand stretched out.
I have hopes/guess on what species, but looking for any insight.
More photos/video coming soon (as soon as I edit out our voices!)
So excited to have a new ceph!
This first photo is from the LFS - but you can see his colors better.
Underside - still in the bag. (And a quarter for size reference - although he is quite curled up!)
