Came right over during the water change today to see what I was doing. Still not interested in baby toys yet. We’ll get there!
it's a she and named Üter. I checked out all her arms and there's no hectocotlytus. tank size is recommended at 50 gallons but I have a 112 that can hold 150 with sump. Though that's not really true. Wanted to make sure I could get rid of waste etc...and not have to up the water changes. I know they don't live long but I think it's been by far worth it.Your activities appear to be highly suspect to him
I did not notice a name for the octopus friend, and either way let him know he has a fan!!! If/When i ever have a species tank, this creature would be first on the list.
Cool Build and hello from a fellow Mainer,

typically 2 years in the wild. you have no idea how old they are though and if they already mated. You could have one for a year by herself and suddenly have babies. The males die shortly after mating but the females live for about a month after mating. just till babies hatch.I like the name, please give Uter tentacle a firm hand shake for me during the next feeding.
I saw the 50 gallon requirement .... But i usually double if not triple the requirement for most of my animals when possible. Its not a perfect system but i try to.
How long do they live for? I think it would be awesome to put a couple generations in a bigger tank, let them live out their lives then one day move back into the mixed reef game when im interested in more color!
Geez reminds me of rats. Very smart critters with to short of a lifespan. Finding sudden babies towards the end of a females lifespan would be wild though,typically 2 years in the wild. you have no idea how old they are though and if they already mated.

She kept acting weird then swimming away when my daughter was trying to feed her. then I looked at the picture…..Please remember to wear appropriate clothing when feeding!
she even morphed into a strange pointy shape."That googly-eyed creature seems highly suspect! But it keeps bringing me food...very confusing" Üter thought,
Do you think the aiptasia came from the TBS rock? looks like do did not add anything else...March 27th I tried to peppermint shrimp for the 4 Aiptasia. Both shrimp I found are still there this morning. (Aiptasia too).
