Hi, I've never kept cephalopods before, but would love to try one if this idea is feasible. I have just set up an Aquafuge HOB refugium (about 20gal) on the back of my 55gal reef tank. I obviously can't keep octopi in the main tank with all the fish and inverts in there. But the refugium just has some live rock, live sand, grape caleurpa and various amphipods in there, not much macrobiotic except the macroalgae. Would it be crazy to consider keeping a dwarf octopus or other cephalopod in the refugium if I make sure that it is escape proof? I have heard of others successfully keeping mantis shrimp in their invert-free refugia. Any suggestions or ideas?
Also, any good links, I have been using James Wood's Cephalopod Page at http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/tcp/ for info so far.
