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

Yeah for sure, I don't have a frag tank setup anymore so anything I cut I just end up throwing out, come by and I'll set you up.

Fed the octopus a silverside last night, so he's eating now

I guess you're suppose to keep these guys occupied with toys of some sort, anyone got any ideas on what to use?
