Thanks! Richard says in this article that he did not see eggs until 20 weeks, but that they saw mating behavior for a few weeks before they saw any eggs. So it looks like I can expect mating behavior in the next few weeks and eggs in 6-8 weeks.

Working on that. They stay hidden in the rock all day and active/out of the rock at night under the red LEDs. I should be able to get some video when I feed them.

All 8 cuttles moved to DT at 13 weeks.

I have seen them at Aquarium Concepts in Dublin, but all of these LFSs order through the LA wholesalers and they should be able to put one on their next order for you.

Following along. Awesome job. It's the exact same setup I have. I did have better luck tuning the flow with a gate valve instead of a ball valve but looks like yours is working fine. I have an ATB 840v2 skimmer and it's great and very, very quite. When there is no water sound like your tank...

11 Week Update: Pics & Feeding Video I still have all 8 of the original hatch 11 weeks ago. They are getting much larger now that they are eating larger feed. They spend the day very well embedded in my Red Grape Algae (at the right in the first picture below). At night, they are more...

Cool, looking forward to it. We are taking the kids to CAS today so I was hoping you were going to say today :-)

Thanks, Rich, really cool. How big does this "Larger" octopus get? Are they on display anywhere? or any plans to put them on display?

The cuttles are 9 weeks old today. I still have the original 8. They seem to be about twice as big that they were when they were born. Last week, at 8 weeks, I removed them from their small critter keeper and moved them to a 20G Long that is plumped into my larger system. They seem to be doing...

I can highly recommend the CPR Aero force AP wooden air stone driven HOB skimmer. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/04/27/cpr-aeroforce-ap/

That's a great video! I had not seen that before. I am thinking about letting them go from the smaller container to 20G Long for the next 5 weeks and then moving them to my 120G display when they get to 3 months old (they are 7 weeks today). Sound OK? Sorry to hear about your flu. Our...

It's been a little over 6 weeks and all eight cuttles seem to be doing OK in the higher flow container. At 6 weeks, I moved the cuttles off of mysids and onto common shore shrimp (Palaemonetes Vulgaris). I had a couple of them eating frozen mysids, but the majority wanted live mysids. Earlier...

Coral Reefer (Mike) was over the other day and noticed my torch coral was eroding at the base beneath the tissues. This is below the living part of the coral. I had not noticed this, but upon further inspection it was clear that the stalks on the side facing my RapidLED PAR30 bulb (80 degree...
