Pigmy Octo....Hitchiked in a shipment...how ofton do they eat?

[Gololf]

Hi all,
Found a pigmy Octopus in my tank after bringing home some LR from Tampa...I think he is slowly eating up the snails and hermits...how often will he eat and will he be a problem?
I have clowns ( mated pair) and a Bubble tip anenomae as well as an irridesent blue small fish that was in the rocks too...and a couple of blenys...are these all compatable?

Lets see some pics. I'm not sure with the compatibility but octos usually need a species tank, here is some good info.

Gololf,

I'm afraid I think your clowns and any motile organisms are at great risk. I doubt the octo would bother the BTA (bubble tip anemone). You may want to research how to set up a cephalopod tank (that is escape proof!). Cool find! I hope it works out for you.

Where in Tampa did you pick up your LR ?
