Hi Chris, thanks again.
Luckily I have a contact in Scotland, "Aqualogistix" who mails out mysis and crangon by the thousand, so the food shouldnt be too bad a problem. I have already started sketching out ideas for a rearing tank. Luckily part of my job includes me building fish tanks for BOSS *Build on Site Specialists aquariums. So cutting and siliconing glass aint a prob. either. I will post some pics once i get started. I think there are 2 or 3 clumps of what looks like 20 or so eggs per clump now.
I am going to re-do my site with pics of the new octos to see if anyone can id them.......
heres one of the new ones........
