Dom,
I have been wondering how your mixed tank was doing and am glad you are back on-line. So far I don't think anyone has had success with multiple octos in an aquarium unless they were sibblings raised together (my Mercs and Zyan's bimacs are the only ones I am aware of in our journals) and my offspring from the Merc sibbling pairing have not done well at all but I don't know if it is juvenile predation (I had none with the first group) or male adult praying on the young. It seems consumption must be involved as there are no bodies but I don't know if they are eaten after a kill or after a natural death or who eats them.
I noticed that you have erectus and some other type of seahorse in the tank. I am about to start a seahorse tank (again) and would like to know what species the other horse is and how long they have been together (I have had problems when mixing and would like to find another Caribbean species that might survive with the erectus).
