The octopus? Yes in the same tank, I only have one tank, so yeah everything I have is together. except for the cuttlefish fries, a dolabella sea hare and a pencil urchin in my refugium and an emerald crab and a cleaner shrimp in my skimmer compartment of the sump.Is this in the same tank with the cuttles, or do you have a separate tank? For best results for all parties, a separate tank for cephs is best from what I've seen!
I intend to banish all the shrimp to the skimmer compartment of my sump when I am able to catch them, then move my sea hare back to the tank. My shrimp keep digging my sea hare's anus for food and end up killing them.
If my cuttlefish grow up big enough, I suppose I would give them away to fellow hobbyists and keep a trio in the refugium. If my octopus happens to pass on in between, then they get the main tank.
Oh yeah, I still have an almost 2 month old cuttlefish in my main tank which I spot every other night and fail at catching. It won't leave the rockscape, so once I go near, it just slips inside the cracks. Still a mystery what it has been eating all this while in my main tank.

- Total 37 fries (May 2nd +3, 3rd +5, 4th +9, 5th +4, 6th +2, 7th +9, 8th +4 - 1, 9th +2 -2, 10th +2, 11th +1, 14th -1, 15th -1)
- Refugium 30 fries

- I can't count how many fries are in the refugium, so I will only note the deaths that I am able to find.
Octopus Day 4 - 15 May 2023
- My octopus remained hidden in the cracks between my rocks and unlike my previous girl did not even poke an eye out to spy on me so I could not see it at all.
- I fed my corals tonight, and awhile later saw one of it's arms rummaging about. I drop a clam next to it's arm and it came out to eat. It didn't finish the clam, not a big eater it seems.
