Yes, he told me he stubbed his tentacle climbing out of the barnicle last night and is also depressed that there are no chicks in his neighborhood.

JK he is doing well.

Great vids Rudy!

BTW, there's nothing wrong with refering to Otto as "dying". As a matter of fact, anything that is living is always getting closer to dying. This would include all of us.

Any of us that keep part of the ocean in a glass box in our home should try to make a point to never even think about being critical of what someone else is doing in their box.

I hope you post more of these great vids.

Thanks for sharing.

i agree.... the minute we are born we start to die just part of life so suck it up!!!!!!! and is it really fair that we all keep creatures of the ocean in a glass box???? really i dont think so........... but we all do.... and i do agree that otto is probably much happier in his "glass box" then on a serving tray at the local dim sum where most octos end up........................
