Goodwin9, what species is Marcus? He looks like a cool little guy. I've started to read a bit about them curious for the future.

I'm curious as well. Also in one of your vids it looked like you have a tank that's split, if so, what do you have on the other side. and (so full of questions) in one of your pics it looked like there was a tank with a full acrylic top, if so, how does that all work out.

I was the classic newb. I went out and bought the smallest tank and a fish at the same time. Now I'm kicking myself wondering how could I have been so stupid. But I'm hooked now.

The tank does have a removable divider in place. I have another octopus on the other side of the tank. This tank has lids that are lockable to prevent escape.

If I watch this incredible video one more time, I may just go out and buy a new tank for an octopus. Very cool.

If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind someone and pinching him is probably a joke that gets old real fast
