yesterday I finally got the call from the aquariumshop. My octo had arrived!
it's supposed to be a vulgaris. although the shop owner wasn't sure.
he's still very tiny, arms are about 15cm long,body is +-2cm in diameter
his tank already contained live foods like small crabs, shrimp, mussels,... But since I had expected him to be a bit bigger, I took some of the largest crabs out, just to be on the safe side. don't want him to lose a limb or worse.
when I put him in, he looked around for a short while and then hid under one of the rocks. this morning he's relocated but I can't find out where, too many rocks and shells and stuff to hide But I found an empty crabshell that wasn't there last night. maybe he already had a snack
as soon as I have some pics I'll post them
