Wonderpus journal - Scott

I have had a peppermint shrimp out live several (larger) octos. Interestingly, only one seems to survive if I put in a pair. It is almost like it takes one getting eaten for the other to be more cautious.

I'm so glad this is going so well. Great to have a successful journal with these guys!

I was on the phone a couple of weeks ago with US Mysids, really good guy and he's been selling shrimp for a long time. I asked him about small orders (like 100-200) and he was amenable to that; although he usually sells larger volumes (to folks like MBL, and other aquariums). If you place an order, tell 'em TONMO sent you

Hello everyone, this is an emergency posting. Something is going on with my wunderpus and I don’t know what. His mantle is clumpy, as in it looks like there are 3 clumps in his mantle , it is VERY uneven. He has a large scratch at the back of his mantle as well as 2 small circle bumps. Looks like 2 moles. Protruding at the back. What is going on? Is he sick? What do I do. I just did a water change 2 days ago. Cleaned the skimmer and replaced filter sock. He is VERY white in color. Someone get back to me asap please. He moves around with 2 tentacles he does not move like he used to. when moving he body does not suction as he goes, it pulls himself with his legs. The last week, he has been in his den for days at a time. please help.
