Lol, no they are just camera shy. The octopus is still a little small to mess with anything exept the chromis, and they're cheap.



But I'm sure he'll be looking for more soon

TY I thinks its pretty cool myself  :salute
Its Evil Eye

Apparently Octopus have eyes which are very similar to humans.  Although they evolved separately, evolution stumbled across the same chemicals etc to make the eye work.  (I think i heard that on a show called "what we still don't know", which was on the history channel)
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.

I guarantee that Octo will eat every fish (well maybe not the puffer) you have in there at its earliest opportunity.  It will also make an escape, unless you have made appropriate precautions already.  As I posted in your vid post, I've always wanted to try one, but could never devote the tank space and time. Let us know how he fares from time to time.

the tank is sealed so getting out would be pretty hard, but from what I have heard I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it did.  I'm sure he will start eating other fish. if that happens I may stick it ib its own tank I have another 60 gal with nothing in it now.

when you clean the tank be careful not to disturb the C-47 site - its probably a protected war grave :salute
