Where can you buy dwarf octopus' from?

Just like it says, where can you buy dwarf octopus' from? online? stores in california?

Stores in Florida would be more likely. O. mercatoris is the most common dwarf in the US currently and they occur on the SE coast.

I've seen them a lot on Ebay.

www.sealifeinc.net occasionally has them.

I was thinking of getting a few, but I never see them on the sealife inc. How much is a good price for one of these guys too? Anywhere else I can get them?

 

[Animal Mother]

I can't think of anyone else who sells pygmies regularly. I got mine at a LFS by happenstance.

After looking at these little buggers they are really tiny what is an octopus that is a little bit bigger? and maybe not nonturnal?

 

[Animal Mother]

Abdopus would probably be your best candidate. They get significantly larger than mercatoris and they are typically diurnal. You can get them from www.liveaquaria.com or www.marinedepotlive.com
