Lmecher Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 I haven't seen much of Ollie over the past week or so. I finally got a video of him. It is dark but I thought I'd post it anyway. Link to comment
violinist Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Pfffftttt, if they were as smart as people say he'd grab that mag float and clean the glass for you... Just kidding, this is the coolest critter hands down! Does it ever try and squeeze through that pipe near the top? Link to comment

Just kidding, this is the coolest critter hands down! Does it ever try and squeeze through that pipe near the top? It goes to a scwd before the pump, going to change it. I had it covered with screen but it fell off a couple months ago. Have never seen him go near it. I think I am going to cover it again, need to find something to secure it better, zip ties slip off.

nanoreef-R Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thank you for putting up this thread. It's very interesting. Link to comment
Lmecher Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I LOVE HIM! What do you use for your nightlights?? I have a small fixture from a pico that wasn't being used. (don't know the wattage, but small) I covered the plexi galss sheild with several layers of red cellophane. I need to get to the science surplus store to look for something better, the cellophane is ripping. Maybe I can find another crab container to try. Thank you for all the kind responses. It's nice to have feedback as this is a journey, I am learning as I go. Link to comment

Lmecher Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Lmecher what is this? http://s287.photobucket.com/albums/ll139/L...nt=CIMG6875.flv just curious! Peppermint shrimp spawn : ) The sound on that one is aweful huh? I have been making contact with Ollie and it has been progressing wonderfully, today he let me pet his mantle and head. My daughter wanted to gove it a try. I taped her first encounter. Link to comment
violinist Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Cool vid! I was thinking of your tank last night, they had some show on Discovery or one of the other nature channels where they followed an octopus from cradle to grave. They claimed it was the same octopus the whole time, but either way it was a pretty interesting show. Link to comment
