Both are treally neat octopuses. O.briareus is much more of a escape artist where O.bimaculoides is less prone to crawl out. Bimaculoides is day active and briareus is more nocturnal. Both are cool speciies and make great octos for the home aquarium. As far as places you can get different species try www.fishsupply.com or another online vender like marine depot.

thanks i really would like a briareus cause the color changes are so drastic on them and unlike the bimac the legs on the briareus are webbed so it looks much cooler i cant find anywhere that has them though

Richard from tampa bay salt water may be able to get you one. I know some wholesalers who can get them but they only sell to retail stores.
