Bros..

Is there such thing as dwarf octopus that can be kept in captivity...

Preferebly red coloured ones.

I noe and very aware the blue ring is a BIG NO NO for one to keep.

Anybody seen in any of our lfs?

i've seen small octopus in Ah Beng before..

saw the blue ring ones at CF many months ago...

strongly not advisable to keep one...

octopus should be best left in the ocean...

not suitable to be kept in captivity..

There are dwarf species, ML sold some before. But honestly, it is quite pricey and they only live for 2 years at the most with 18 month being the norm. If you bought the adult, you'll have only months till this guy degrade and die. Just realized I am talking about dwarf cuttlefish, not octopus.
