I've had many , a shy vulgaris and dwarf they were like not having one you never saw them unless you looked at night with a red light , I also had a few bimacs they were the best great personality but only lived 6 months to a little over a year but this is my favorite one I don't have to feed it or do any water changes just apply some sun screen once in a while

Hey guys!

I am in SF, but will be at the swap in April. Super fun!

Here is one of my last octos, and my obligatory disclaimer about them:

The size of Wunderpus photogenicus populations in the wild is unknown, and it is unclear what effect their collection will have on those populations. Little is known about what they need to survive in the wild, and even less is known about what they need to live well in the aquarium. After much wrestling with this issue, I urge even experienced ceph-keepers to think long and hard before bringing one into the home aquarium. Many cephalopod enthusiasts feel that the wunderpus shouldn?t even be collected for the trade at least until more scientific research has been done on the species. Though I agree with this sentiment, the realty of the Marine Ornamental industry is that these animals will continue to appear in the trade. It is my hope that those that are interested in these animals, but do not rush out to buy them.

I also have a bunch of cuttlefish, Sepia bandensis:
