Dwarf Octopus - TBS farm

Sustainably Harvested
Excellent Bio filtration
Fast and Fresh Delivery

Octopus joubini are unique predators that require a species specific or FOWLR system.

Dwarf octopus prefer eating crustations, with crabs and shrimp being its first choice. Have a mantis that you can't trap? Well, the dwarf octopus will catch it and clear out hermit crabs, pistol shrimp, peppermint shrimps, and gorilla crabs, too.

They are nocturnal, so don't plan on seeing it under bright lights. Joubini's are shorted lived, up to 2 years.

Hitchhiker

Octopus joubini - Dwarf Octopus are seasonal hitchhikers. They love crevasses in live rock for snoozing during the day and then emerge at night in search of crabs.

Depending on season they vary in size from 1/2" juveniles to 4" adults.

They are opportunistic feeders and not considered reef safe. They are great for predator tanks or FOWLR tanks. Dwarf octopus will eat crabs and shrimp. We have not observed them catching fish, but it is surely possible.

Stable parameters and good water quality will keep them alive for up to 2 years.
