Not SPS, but hopefully interesting to some here.
I have been speaking about breeding these guys all year, and it finally happened. Me so happy!
This species hasn't been seen in the trade for 10-20 years, and through wheeling and dealing I was able to get three specimens and breed them. The adult female's mantle is about the size of a thumbnail and the babies are less than 1/4 inch. Even though they are nocturnal, they may be the perfect small aquarium octo - interesting to look at, easy to feed, and breed-able. I have two babies, hopefully more on the way - and even better, this species doesn't die after brooding and will continue to eat and brood more eggs throughout her life.
