Thanks- we're planning to get him out of the tank with the dendros as soon as his new tank is cycled. The dendros are in that low-light system and they do sting their neighbors. Little monsters but we love them. We looked up a you-tube video of O. mercatoris adult and as far as we can tell, it looks exactly like Varys. We know cephalopods in general are short-lived but hopefully this one still has a few months to go and we can provide everything it needs. Any idea how old they are when they reach adult size, (ie how many weeks/months do we maybe have assuming he carries on with the voracious feeding)??
