i have a clown fish and a anemone that it hides in will the octopus eat it? the octopus is about 3 to 4 inches they say it is an atlantic reef octopus what type may they be what does that mean?

thanks raudy
 
Also the anemone may sting the octopus, giving it blisters and nasty skin lesions. It's not usually a good idea to have the two together. Octopus tend to need a species tank, not a community one.

As for what they mean by atlantic reef octopus..........I think that probably translates into "it's an octopus from the atlantic..dunno what sort!" LFS's are notoriously bad at IDing octopus!
