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.
