there are alot of various type of octopus , and do note that they require large water volume because they are sensitive to nitrates and yet they are nitrate factories themselves, also they are hunters so if you keep them with fishes you will find a fishless tank sooner or later and no corals in the tank because they will get sting by the polyps , and lastly and the most irritating part , you need a octopus proof tank because they will either climb out and u get dried tibit to eat in the morning or you will see mince meat coming out of your return pump ( i seen that happen to last mimic octopus )

you sure you still want a octopus?

of course if you can provide all the above then its interesting to have 1 as a pet but not the tiny 1s you usually see , i would suggest getting cuttlefish over octopus , much much easier to care for and just as interesting especially when they flash their colours
