How have you escape-proofed the tank, or was it fairly well locked down to begin with?

I planned this from the start, the tank is sealed up fairly well with a glass and mesh lid. The overflow and pump is also isolated, I don't think it can go anywhere but I guess time will tell. I've already seen it squeeze through a tiny gap in the rock, it was ridiculous.

Not sure, it was called a red octopus, I'm not entirely sure how big it gets. Hopefully not that big, but I could always upgrade after the contest if I need to

kool. i hope it works out for you. the only downside to octo's is their lifespan

I used my Canon G9. I wanted to take a few pics but my battery was dead in the other camera.

Bimac maybe? That's my completely uneducated (well, slightly educated) guess..

I'm putting my money on it being a Octopus rubescens, which does stay quite small.

Just got him last night, haven't tried feeding it yet. Will try silversides and krill tonight.

I'm changing my guess to O. mercatoris, pictures show very similar characteristics. Plus I think my last guess is a cold water species so that can't be right
