It didnt bite you? When I was on the west coast of the island I picked up one in a tide pool and it was about the size of a quarter and started to feast on my hand. Little bugger wouldnt let go and bit me about six times ... so now he is in his own little aquarium.

The little guy did not bite me, but sure stuck on to my hand when I took him out of my pocket. How is your octopus doing? Do you have a chiller on his tank?

sorry to hijack your thread. But ya he is doing fine and eats alot. I dont have a chiller in his tank becuase it is right near a window and keeps the tank about 2 degrees warmer than the ocean. He will probaly be going back to the ocean soonish becuase it is a giant pacific octopus... One of the wickedist animals that i have ever kept.
