Now Jared, I gave the octopus away to a LFS but I could call them and take it back if it won't become a peril to my tank or fish or vice-versa. The fella is sticky as hell and I have a rimless tank, I am afraid I may find him on my bedside any morning and that's the end of my marriage Also the tank just started cycle about 4 days to go so it still have some time left. Would it be safe to put it in there?...if so, what does he eat? About the rocks, I apologize for the dumb question but...which one is the coral? The blue crystal-like? I though so but it is soft to the touch, on the other hand the spongy like brown stuff with the white spot on it is hard, I was told it is a dead coral by the guys in my LFS. Thank you! |

Here's my current TBS tank after just 4 months.
I already had a lot of the coral and had no choice but to put it in, immediately following the addition of Part II. Everything survived. No pest issues. Macros, tunicates and sponges slowly wither away or get eaten which is expected, but now I'm at the 6 month mark and still have some of the sponges and other stuff can still be found. I've also got this guy... You'll probably see a lot of these pop up too.

What came with my TBS rock??
I forgot to mention a tank where the octopus will be the only occupant , besides his food.
Perhaps I thought it obvious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by ginpang; 10/05/2017 at 07:47 AM. Reason: Just read simultaneous posts- no go |

+1 expose to air as little as possible , thought sometimes the fear or dying will make them multiply depends on the type of sponge. This happened when I was pulling out rocks to scrub with a potato brush to get rid of dynoflagellates. About 6 months ago , I’m thinking aplysilla species. 1 big one exploded into 25-30 babies.

Keep it in your tank. My ammonia never went up when I cycled my tank because of all the good bacteria in the rock. It'll be cycled in a couple weeks. You might get a 1ppm ammonia, do a water change. I had zero loss on everything that came in with the rocks. 2 starfish, 4 urchins, crabs, snails, rock anemone, and so much more. Only problem is all those sponges will most likely die as you kept them out of water so you may have spike in ammonia. I would definitely say keep the Octopus. Those rocks are really really good with cycling new tanks.

Great! I've seen videos of where those things look to be swarming there are so many of them. I'm glad you are getting ahead of them!
