My questions are: what size hermits to feed the octopus? The size of their mantle? A little bit smaller/larger? Actually, how can I determine what is a good size of any crab?
My octopus (I got him last week on Monday) has not touched any of the dwarf blue-tips in his tank. Their actual bodies are about 1/2 inch long. Should I go for a larger species? Doctor Octopus has a mantle that is just over an inch long with legs about 6 inches from tip to tip. Still not sure of the species, though. He was supposed to be a Dwarf, and Animal Mother thinks he may be a Briareus.
I do have some fiddlers on the way from aquaculturestore.com, but hermits would suit my budget better.
Thanks for any input fellow octopus owners.
