Anyone know where to get ocotpus locally?

I got a 120 gallon doing nothing but wasting energy. I don't care what species as long as it's not blue ring.

Those little buggers are tricky-they get into the overflow/drains and love to crawl out of the top of the tank. They can squeeze through small grid like eggcrate/overflow teeth as well.

I saw one a while back at passion of the sea but it was Anthony's personal octo-maybe give him a call and see if he can track one down for you. It might be a cool weather item since they don't ship well (one ink release and they are done).

Very cool critters-just hard to keep alive =)

Locally? Hm, I remember Mark's Tropical Fish in Studio City having them kinda often. I havent been there recently, though. Might want to give them a call.

They are hard to find. If you do find one let me know. My friend at work's cuttlefish died recently and he's looking for an octo.

everytime I see one of those critters in a LFS they are the most dangerous kind that can kill a human in 5 minutes with their poisen. that is what I am told, atleast.

That is the blue ring one that he specifically mentioned he did not want.

I was at one of the OC LFS recently that had a bunch of them. I think it was the Coral and Fish Center in Costa Mesa.
