Hi welcome to NR. Is this your first SW tank? That is an impressive list of live stock. Must be great being able to just pluck things out of the sea. I have no experience with most of your live stock. Do you think they can all survive in a tank that small? Would love to see a close up of the octopus.

Thank you. Yes this is my first SW tank. They are fine as of now but I will move out the octopus and the lobster to bigger tanks when they grow in size. Here's a picture of the octopus sticking to the glass

That Octopus is amazing, how long roughly do you plan on keeping it? Do you know what type it is?

I'll keep it until the

tank becomes too small for it. Then I'll move it to a bigger tank or back to the sea. I think it's a common octopus.
