Wow that is just awesome

What kind of octopus is he? How long does he live?

Otto is an O. Aucealatus (sp)

mid sized octopos from Indonesia. He is supposed to live a year or so at most. I am pretty sure I got him at a smaller size so we will see. I actually thought he was going to die quite soon do to docile behavior for the last couple weeks but last night and today he looks to have proven me wrong.

I have had him for at least a couple months.
