Safe octopus?

[Kabong]

Well technically that would be coral's aren't octopus safe

Seriously though what kind of corals did your Octo have a run in with?

[bassman]

None, I never subjected him to them. I did my homework first so mine has never come in contact with any.

Pretty much any "stinging" corals could harm or kill an octopus.

I would love to have a setup for one but the only thing that makes me think twice is how short their lives are.

Agreed, But you could say the same thing about a lot of fish.
My statement was meant to state that they will not eat corals.

Many Octo keepers do keep some corals in there tank.
Technically due to the low light enivro that's best suited to an Octo I doubt you could keep much other then say mushrooms and zoo's.
which I doubt would be any significant danger anyway.

Yes, however octopus tend to pull themselves around where as fish rarely touch anything when they move through the water.

I think we're both on the same page here.
