Hi there,
I've just received my first ever octopus after a lot of reading and watching an empty tank for what feels like ages.
I got him about eight hours ago, and he's been roaming his new tank exploring. He's now sitting in a corner, with a white colouration.
I wondered if anyone would be able to help identify him, or lead me to a website/article that would help me to find out what species he is? The supplier was vague, and didn't supply a latin name. When he wanders around the tank, he is usually a lovely red colour.
Also, one of his legs appeared to have been cut, but there is a small piece regrowing out of it. The leg is a lot shorter than all his rest (about half the size maybe). Do octopus regrow their legs?
I will post more photos when he decides to move around a bit more.
Thanks!
