I’m an environmental biology major outside of Portland OR, and have been keeping reef tanks off and on for over 20 years. I’ve spent time doing research in the Caribbean, and have gone diving or snorkeling in Virginia, California, Hawaii, Belize, and Okinawa. My favorite moments with a cephalopod have been encountering a small group of cuttlefish off Oahu, and an O. briareus who spent 20 minutes crawling all over me on a night dive off Ambergris Caye.
I’m back in a position to keep a tank again for the first time in 4 years, and I picked up a 60gal cube with an octopus in mind. I’m moving slowly, reading up on captive care, and deciding where/how to source one. A. Aculeatus or another diurnal species would be ideal, and I’m not on a timeline, so I’m willing to wait.
Favorite past tanks include an Indo-Pacific invert-dominant tank, and a dedicated N. wennerae tank.
Hope to learn more and find an ethical source for eggs, or a captive raised diurnal. Thanks for having me!
