Hey R2R!
Quick question so my LFS got a dwarf octopus in that I'm thinking of purchasing and adding to my reef tank. Most websites I've read on say, octopus are considered "non reef safe".
Which I'd mainly assume has to do with other fish and invertebrates.
So my tank is very minimalistic, I have some large pukani rocks with only SPS corals. No other fish or invertebrates are in this tank.
Now I do understand octopus do create a large bioload, but my filtration is for sure would be good + I run carbon.
I've reasearched over the past few weeks about octopus and cephalopods, and I know what their requirements are for the home aquarium, I know they have a short lifespan also.
But the main question here is will the octopus be ok with SPS corals (acroporas).
