I'm adding Rupert to the List of Our Octopuses (top of the Journals and Photos forum)!

I suspect that Rupert does come from Octopets but took the long way round to get to you.

Nice pics, too.

you keep him in a reef tank???? or is that just a random candy coral?

 

[philc21]

thats actually a random polyp rock my dad wanted out of his reef cuz it wasnt opening so i traded him a coral from my other tank and put that in here still hasnt opened tho i figure i want sumthing with color in there so im putting some polyps and mushrooms

yeah ive got a few blue mushrooms in my octo tank they multiply and grow better in there and then i move them to the reeftank

What sort of light do you over your octo tank? I have burgundy mushrooms in my little invertebrate tank and have been thinking of trying one in the larger tank.

Oh and I am also certain Nancy is right about him originally coming from Octopets, since they supply every other online company, who sells Bimacs.
