Hey guys I just found an octopus in my tank, I'm guessing he came with the rock that I got from Florida if anyone knows about octopus and octopus ID I'd appreciate it if you could ID this little guy! Thanks.

I think that might be it!! They look pretty similar and they are both similar size. Thank you I really appreciate it a lot.

I know I didn’t just read a minimum tank size of 10 gallons for an octopus! I don’t care the size they are definitely way too smart to be kept in a small glass box…I feel bad for them.

Or fish.

Also +1 to Joubini

My bigger inverts have been doing well but I have noticed that some of the small ones have gone missing

Sounds small in my opinion

Did you purchase your rock from somewhere down in Florida?

Update?

I havent seen him in maybe 2 weeks but I've looked for him maybe 5 days out of those 2 weeks. I think he is still alive though since I saw a new hole with hermit shells so thats good, he still is on a hermit only diet too.
