| Octopus's are neat critters better left alone in the ocean, IMO. If you have rock in your tank, I hope its held together somehow cause they are notorius for knocking rocks over while hunting for food. Tight fitting lid with no escape holes cause they are perfect escape artists.
The TN Aquarium in Chattanooga had an octopus species only tank. They kept losing fish in other tanks and couldnt figure out why... meanwhile, the octopus wasnt eating. Somebody had the bright idea to watch the security tape from that area and it showed the octopus climbing out of its tank and crawling over to the other tanks and having a feast then going back to i ts tank. _________ [center]Renaming Our Corals "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it."
