Criley7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's an awesome shot. Around how big would you guess it is? Thanks! I would say filling extended from tentacle tip to tentacle tip he is 20"-24". His body and head is about 4" whoa! nice shot! I think you need to go over to Piggys house with your camera, he takes ####ty pictures and we need decent ones of Ragu. Haha yea that picture isn't to bad for being with my IPhone. But it also under t5s and not LEDs. Now that I know he has "Ragu" I'll be up there to take pictures soon enough I'm sure. BTW I say name him "REDRUM" Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ragu! He looks saucy. I say redrum cause he is blood red and he Murders his food. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 New video of My Octopus stalking and killing a crawfish. http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg517/...1D60F7BCA24.mp4 The funny part of the video is how the background music from "Blood Diamond" goes with the attack and kill.

Criley7 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I thought the same thing. He doesn't even hesitate. Hahahaa Yea if he sees it coming it then he doesn't think twice to pounce, but if he is hiding and comes out he usually flashes colors to blend in while he stalks and pounces. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Caviar was included with dinner tonight. That crawfish was 4" and had thousands of eggs on her belly. Yum Yum. For real?! whoa Yea if he sees it coming it then he doesn't think twice to pounce, but if he is hiding and comes out he usually flashes colors to blend in while he stalks and pounces. See that would be cool to watch. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 For real?! whoa See that would be cool to watch. Yea i still think its amazing everytime I feed him live food. It never gets old. Only if I had other live food options. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I realized today that my octopus comes to me when I approach the tank. (To eat) http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg517/...4C3C9A30AE8.mp4 Games with the octopus and a mag float http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg517/...4B833FD81AF.mp4 He decided it was his http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg517/...4BA15E8DD3D.mp4 A treat for the good boy. http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg517/...4BBBD699D59.mp4 Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Incredible vids! I'm always amazed how such a short lived creature can be so smart. It must be so cool to have one. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 What an interesting animal, I love seeing your vids. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 What an interesting animal, I love seeing your vids. Interesting indeed. I'm amazed everyday. Especially when I feed him live foods and he changes all his colors when he attacks. Incredible vids! I'm always amazed how such a short lived creature can be so smart. It must be so cool to have one. Thank you! And yes amazing to say the least. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I realized today that my octopus comes to me when I approach the tank. (To eat) I realized you're one of very few people that can say "my octopus". Everybody else is like "my fish". He's a cutie playing with mag float. Throw in a rubix cube next. Is that cyano on the rock or red dictoya? Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Cyano. This weekend im removing all the sand and replacing/ scrubbing the LR. Im gonna also remove the sand that's in the HOB Fuge. It's sure to be adding the the nutrient issue. Link to comment

Criley7 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 He usually doesn't even react when I am in his tank. Sometimes he will get close and investigate my hand but that's about it. I wish I got him when he was a baby, I would love to be able to hand train him. I just dont wanna be bitten by an octopus that has never been handled. Or have him ink everywhere in the tank so I have to do a huge water change and waste a change out of chemipure elite. Long story short, I leave him alone, he leaves me alone. Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 how does Suckerpie react when you're in his tank? Don't you like how the animal names are sprung on you without hesitation? On a side note wait until you see these zoanthids in person. You're going to ####. Also don't break down your tank for that cyano. Just buy Chemi-clean. Link to comment
