Very cool creature. I remember seeing something a while ago about a dude who had a piece of LR that had a very special hitchhiker on it - a dwarf octo. He had it in a reef tank with some tangs and a couple other fish it couldn't it. He said it minded its own business and that it was very curious to watch.
Looks like you've got one with a very healthy diet though

Some day I would love to get an octo... I think they are the coolest animals since they are soooooo smart. I heard they don't live very long tho, even in the wild.
