![]() Nope they will eat any fish or invert you put in with them.
They pretty much need a species only tank. They are technically coral safe though.

![]() Snails too I would imagine eh? I've been seriously tempted to consider making my ritteri tank an octopus tank since it has a serious plague-porportions population of crabs. The tank is too deep and I'm too lousy of a shot to consider the sling-shot skewer method, and I have nowhere to put a 24" anemone to take apart the rockwork.
The fish, shrimp, urchins or whatever I could move and put an octopus in there but without snails the tank would get a nice coating of algae I figure. I dunno, for now it's just a fantasy of mine to try a cuttlefish or octopus to fix my rock crab problem but it will likely have to remain a fantasy for a while.

![]() Octopus are NOT coral safe. It's actually the other way around. Corals can and will kill an octopus. I have one now that lives all alone aside from a peppermint shrimp (which he won't eat), a red serpent star and some chocolate chip starfish.
I am will be putting snails in the tank and if they get eaten oh well, I'll put in more LOL, There will be a need to keep the glass clean, however not too great a need as I don't run any lights on the octopus tank so there won't be much algae. Last edited by bassman; 01-13-2007 at 11:44 PM. |
