Long story short we have been waiting to find another hummelincki since our last one died almost a year ago. Live Aquaria listed a "medium Carribean" for sale yesterday early morning so we took a chance. It came today well packages as usual and appears to be a healthy animal although not really what we were expecting from a medium description! It is almost certainly a Briarius similar to our first octopus 4-5 years ago. It is acclimating by drip as I type now..initial parameters were 7.0 pH, 72 degrees and 1.025 SG. Here is a first look picture..
It is easily 16-18 " across with better than a 2" mantle. So I guess we won't have it all that long..will certainly go for a small next time...
I will post more as things progress..
