I have a blasto. Very undemanding, but they like to be fed every now and then. Mine is currently a little closed up, but I'm working on fixing it. They're very beautiful and quite easy.

I wish I got a picture of it

Here’s how mine looks

I was an okay student in high school, I graduated at least. I have my degree and I'm going back to get my paramedic. I prefer college to public education. But even some professors are questionable. It's said "Those who can't, teach." That goes for the idiots, too.

They can. And that might have been their plan, but most have discovered they love the subject so much that they wanted to share it with others.

Yeah I agree. They deserve huge tanks enough for them to not realize there is glass around them. Then again, all of the fish we keep do too. Also, about intelligence, I’d be worried about an octopus getting out and killing em in my sleep just because it could.

But at the same time small spaces make Octopus feel safe, I’ve seen really small octopus kept in small tanks. Look at Coralfish12g’s octobaby

My friend caught one for his Florida tidepool biotope and it was super cool

He got a build?

Dont vacuum in freshwater or saltwater. What ur doing is removing bacteria and essential microfauna and good organics from your sand bed if you wanna have a clean sand bed just put a powerhead in your tank

vacuum old food just because you have good bacteria doesn’t mean it’s fine to leave old food there’s balance

I love Coralfish12g's octopus! Definitely an incredible pet to keep that I'd love to try someday.

How will I take it for walks if I can’t get it out?

I saw a video of a octopus going through 4 different difficulties of locks, sucker got out of each one in less than 6 minutes

 

[Casket_Case]

I used to want an octopus bad and I wanted to name him Aristotle. Just a hundred dollars for like a year of life which is how often they typically last just doesn’t seem worth it to me.

Now if I happened to get a baby hitchhiker on live rock, yep I will make a kraken tank

I’d need to get 2 morays with one.
Ursula, flotsam, and jetsam.

Another serious question.... Will hob skimmers be effective, and can you use the other type of skimmers with out a sump??

Trying to get the right one, and I don't have a sump, but I might be able to fit a small sump under the tank inside of the stand.

Also this tank is NOT drilled.

the coral at the lfs didn't look like that, maybe it was a acan, I just checked it is a acan

Blasto does form colonies that resemble favia or acan, though it still has a distinctive look.
Acan is still a very nice coral!

Blastos and scans are both very easy. Don’t need a ton of light and grow pretty quickly. Scans are also awesome to feed. I have about 7 varieties and a blasto in my tank.
