help O. mercatoris discovered after 7 months!?

[markush]

How do i get this guy out? My 90 gallon mixed reef was started over 7 months ago and i just last night discovered a dwarf octopus! I've had fish for the last 5 months and none have been harmed but i want to get the octo out before they do start dissapearing.

When he's out and about, grab him, put him in a bag, then in a box, and put it in the mail with my address on it.

lol if i see him again. Thats what i'm worried about, actualy ever seeing him again since he's been hidden for 7 months. Is he gonna let me net him? And if i can get him anyone local can have him...i wont ship him.

Then why get rid of it? I would kill to have a well behaved octo in my reef.

Turn your lights on in the middle of the night and you are more likely to see it. Most dwarfs are nocturnal, O. Mercatoris included, if that's what it is. I doubt he will harm any fish unless you get babies.

If it's been in there that long it will be dead very soon. They only live 6-8 months, so I wouldn't worry about finding it.

put a glass bottle in the tank with some food in it or just put the bottle under rocks and check it in the morning. He might hide out in there.
