Exclamation Hitchiker Octo ...

I got a hitchiker Octo when I got my first shipment of LR from TBS..I knew I wanted it out and was (am) going to try and trap it, but in the meantime ...ITS A SHE!! and Saturday morning my tank was covered with Octo eggs and little-teenie-tiny octos .. In addition, there were some that were grown to the stage you could really tell what they were (body, BIG eyes, identifiable tenticles/suckers) .. I have sucked a few out and have them in a glass jar (don't know how long they will last) ... anyone intrested? I enlisted the cavalry (in the form of a Piccaso Trigger) to help "clean up dodge" (things other than the momma) (Mantis, strong looking blue crab, etc), but if I can trap the mother, my pal said he would want it, but if not, her too. Let me know if anyone is interested in the babies for now.

If the eggs are near hatching the momma wont last long.

Sorry to say she did not make it ... nor did the few babies I caught. And with what was left, Picasso was happy!
