One guy I know in Vancouver has/had an octopus. It's in a special large glass bowl, probably a ball about 2' in diameter. I don't know if he still has it though. I'm also tempted by the cuttlefish. I had an octopus in an unheated 20g with a fibreglass screen top (with lots of heavy stuff on top to keep it sealed). Actually, it was very boring because it hid all the time. I kept a supply of shore crabs which it would grab & engulf. That was cool, but overall, it wasn't a very exciting pet. Had it for about 3 or 4 months. From what I've read, they're not very long lived.
