I have to ask, how much is an octopus? And what kind of tank do they need?

[RDNanoGuy]

Most good LFS will order you one at your own risk. They don't take shipping well and could be DOA.

As for a tank they need a species only tank with a very tight lid. They are amazing escape artists.

Also need to be mentally stimulated. They can die of boredom
