I haven't taken any updated tank pics, but I did go tidepooling on Wednesday and Thursday last week, to catch the -1.35 ft. low tides. I found eight octopus on those two outing (a personal record). It must be mating season, because on two separate occasions, I lifted a rock, grabbed at an octopus, and came up with two octopuses!
There are a couple pictures of one of the larger ones that I caught. This one squirted ink in my face when I grabbed him (also a personal first)
I already have an octopus at home, so after a little show and tell with my nephews, and some other tidepoolers, I let them all go. Two of the octopuses I caught were young (small) and I considered replacing the older/larger one that I have at home, because the life span is so short (18 mos?) and because the one at home is a little dull (afraid of me). The problem was that I have a strict one-way-trip policy for anything that goes into my tank, and I would have had to kill the octo I have at home. I never want to take the chance that an animal might catch some non-native disease or parisite in my tank, and that it could be introduced into the local population. Everything in my tank is local, but the frozen scallops I feed my octo are not, so my tank is like the Hotel California, he can check-out any time he likes but he can never leave.
