How to feed octopus
Octopus find their prey using visual or tactile signals acute. Slow down the animal with its suckers, wrapped in a tangled mass of arms, and draw close to them. Most octopuses and cuttlefish bite their prey and injects saliva to paralyze. Before swallowing, to dismember the animal into small pieces with sharp peaks.
The diet of the species of octopus living at the bottom is mainly mollusks (clams and sea snails in particular), crustaceans (mainly crabs) and polychaete worms. In the open sea octopuses and squids eat mainly fish, shrimp and other cephalopods.
