    unfortunately i dont think there was very much in regards to special marks... when he morphs to a white color with an irridesant blueish green center...the blue green tapers to his arms .... ill hafta get a better pic tmo or fri... she is going to try to get a pic of his top side but i think its gonna be tough with the lights being out and still being new to the tank... im being told it is most likly a o.briareus wich is NOT a dwarf octo :/... so i may be in trouble here lol

    since we are certain it isnt a blue ring why not just nudge it out of the rockwork? that might help some. just dont hurt it!!

    I demand VIDEO!!! :D

    That's really cool. Octos are awesome critters, and a 29 biocube is appearing to be the perfect species only size tank :lol: This is the second octo i've heard of in a 29. I've heard of some other awesome critters in those tanks as well.
