My hummelincki octopus (Carribean 2-spot) digs den, finishes off a bumblebee snail, and swtiches color rapidly to try and match background. Sorry for algae on glass.

  • how long do octopi live for? I have seen many different answers such as 6 months to 3 years

  • average of around year for this species and most smaller/warm water octopuses. The longest life span is for the Giant Pacific Octopus, because of colder water=slower metabolism.

  • Thanks for posting! how big is your tank?

  • Sorry for such a late reply. She was in 28 cube at that time, now I keep my octos in a 29 gallon tank with HOB skimmer just for them.

  • that tank is way too small and way too fucking dirty. youre a disgrace to dedicated aquarists and you dont deserve to house a creature that is more intelligent than you are
