Only way I ever had any luck was with a red incandescent bulb in a lamp, LED's would probably be better since they wouldn't be quite as intense.
If you pass a day without feeding and throw a crab in you should get to see a pretty good show. This was about the only time I would ever see mine out and about. Most of the rest of the time mine would only come out far enough to perch on top of its den.
I did keep mine in a large critter keeper, inside a 75 gallon community tank, and I believe the activity of the fish interested my mercatoris. The dwarf lionfish would hang out next to the critter keeper (he wanted to eat the octo bad!) and sometimes my octopus would climb the wall of the critter keeper seemingly trying to get to the lionfish. Funny to watch.
