Good luck with the little guy.
If it truly is a dwarf, you should buy a low-wattage red bulb, incandescent or LED, although you should dim the incandescent with some screening of sorts. This way you have a night light to watch it with. They don't see red very well, if at all.
Any information as to where it was collected? This will help narrow down what particular species it is.
If it is usually a reddish brown color with tiny white dots, it's probably an O. mercatoris. They seem to be the most common dwarf octo these days.
