Hello everyone. i currently have a 120 gallon full reef and am thinking about setting up a smaller tank for an octopus. Now i know you have to have a fully sealed tank as they can escape through anything but i am wondering if there is anything else i need to know. also, what are the best kinds to get? one that stays fairly small and isnt impossible to keep. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello i wish i could tell you there is a easy octopuse to keep but there isnt but then again with the right info it can be a none streeser as for what kind is very hard because most places that sell them cant even idenafy them they are just labelled under things like carrabian octopuse and so on so what i would recomend is read all you can on the types in the hobby that are common like brias biomac and so on make sure all pumps and tubes are sealed and maintain good water qualaTY
