He is definitely nocturnal, and swims around the tank at night. With subdued lighting I can watch him from far. His feedings are expensive, but so far, very much worth it!
Followup for pics!!!
Did you ever get pics, or get to show it off at the tank tour? I'd love to have an octo someday, but they're ninjas and escape artists, lol. What kind of setup, tank size you holding that sweet guy in? I've read all kinds of stuff on how you have to cover holes with mesh and such. Seems like a heck of an effort, but worth the reward if successful.... UPDATES man...UPDATES!

He died the shortly after the tank tour. I had him in a tank which I moved since he was all stressed out. I don't know why but he just chose to starve himself. I put crabs in there daily, and water changed daily. :(
