Video of Mac the octopus!

Way cool man! In the first vids, I kept hearing what sounded like a Mantis slammin'...what was that?

 

Man, that is so cool. Thats a real attention getter, I would probably sit in front of my tank for hours watching him.

 

stellar

 

very kul

 

my dogs scratching the door trying to get in! That or my golden puffer chewing on rocks next to me trying to get me to pay attention to her and feed her! ;D

I do find myself just sitting in hter watching it

 

That is to cool. Would love to have one, but until then I'll just watch yours.

 

he is doing very well! It was positively ID as a hummelincki and not a bimac (which is better for me because they like more reef type temp (78) so no chiller needed.

We did get a scare yesterday! I went ot look for him and could not find him! They are master of disguise but he was not to be found anywhere! He had been playing with the gutter guard on top of the filter area and had pulled it partially down. So we started tearing the back of the tank apart looking for him, when all the sudden he comes crawling out of the little play ball that you can see in the video! He had climbed into the holes and was inside it!

He is also eating krill now! This is the second day I tried to feed him and he grabbed them readily! The first time he grabbed the krill and the feeding stick and would not let go of the stick. So I let him keep the stick and he tried to put it in his beak and spit the stick out! The next piece of krill he just took the krill and left the stick!

 

Love it! Glad you're enjoying!
