Hey guys. Last month I received a shipment of liverock from Tampabaysaltwater.com. It was absolutely magnificant!! For anyone needing liverock to either start a tank or just top off a tank there is noone better. The prices are great and I have never worked with anyone better and more helpful than Richard. Anyway, now that its been about a month since I set up the liverock, all kinds of little critters are coming out to be seen. I've seen featherdusters, gorilla crabs (
) and many other cool species. Last Saturday night at about 11:30 I was looking around in my tank, and notice something that I hadn't seen before and wasn't there earlier that night, an octopus!! I am not sure what species it is, but I think it is a dwarf species. I will post a couple of the better pictures I took so maybe you all can help me out.
Anyway, I say all of that to ask this. I know it is hiding in the liverock somewhere, and I was wondering if any of you would have any small tricks that I could use to coax it out of hiding. It is my main tank, so I would rather not reverse the light cycle just yet. I have extended the "night" an hour, and I am going to buy a lunar light earlier than I had planned, but I really don't have any other ideas. Anything you all can give would be helpful. Thanks.
I have always wanted to get an octo, and had not yet had the opportunity, so this is very exciting to me. I want to do all I can to make this work.
Also, about a week ago, I saw a link to a website where I can buy crabs cheaply for food. If anyone has that link or another, I would appreciate it greatly.
