Not listed as threatened or endangered, but... why? I don't understand the attraction.

I've always been interested in octos but that one would be terrible. Just out of curiosity are there any that would make good tank inhabitants? Abundant in nature and live well in aquariums?

Keeping octopi is pretty much limited to species tanks. They make very poor companions to anything motile.
Not bad with the less noxious sessile inverts though.

They tried to tell me last fall that the blue ring they had in was "easy to keep" and "no danger to anything but small fishes." I did not go for it, but they really tried to convince me it was a fine choice for anyone experienced or not. Kinda scary. In the very least there should be standard forms of some kind that must be signed by the customer before taking the things home that make it clear just how dangerous some of these creatures are- to everyone. Otherwise, people like myself who have no known alergies are being mislead to believe there is no real danger in keeping them. Not Good.
