Aaaaa! yes those octopus iv had one like him before, i believe those octopus are called macropus a night dwelling octopus mine only came out at night and very early morning i never got an octopus like that again lol, If you want a day dwelling octopus get a common brown octopus or pygmy (vulgaris) there very good octopus to care for and watch in the light

There is no such thing as a pygmy vulgaris and all pygmy octopi are nocturnal.


New pics

I thought I took a lot more pictures, but I did get a few decent. I really need better lenses









It's too bad my glass was not cleaner



I always seem to get the flash in the pic too, here's a 10 minute photoshop job





cropped to be panoramic (and hide other cosmetic imperfections in the photo)



There might be a few more. Today I will clean up the glass in the hopes he makes another extended visit hopefully at an earlier time.

I know that last one is out of focus but I love the pose.







The last pic you can see that he is eating a large piece of shrimp.
