[Krakilin]

More pics to come!!! He inked when I was trying to get him out of the jar but it cleared up quick. Otherwise everything is going smooth!!! They even threw in 4 emerald crabs with him :]

Congratulations! Welcome to Spectre.

to Spectre! What kind is he and where did you get him from? Can't wait to see more photos!

All I know is that it's a tropical octopus :P I got it from islandmarinelife on ebay. They don't have them listed but sometimes they can get them in!

I'm praying that its not vulgaris

How big is it?

 

[Krakilin]

His head is about the size of a golf ball. The arms are really long compared to it, so it makes me think that its briareus - which is exactly what I wanted!

Spectre!

The color is very briareus typical, but that's hard to judge. Does it have a lot of webbing?

Spectra!!!! He has the coloring of Briarius.

First thing I thought when I saw it was Briareus and had to re-read your post a couple times to make sure you didn't post that it was a Briarus, I would eat my hat if it wasn't...

Does it have a lot of webbing?

I haven't seen him really out in the open at all yet :P I hope to get more pictures in the next week or two and share some stories with you guys!!

As luck would have it, 6 hours after I get the guy my overflow box stops taking in water and my main tank starts to overflow. Long story short I ripped the overflow box off and am going to build my own out of PVC tubing tonight! I hope the poor guy doesn't get too stressed from all of this.. worst time for it to happen!
