Hi Jim
Things could be worse. Years ago a friend of mine kept a pet blue-ringed
octopus. Octopus are legendary escape artists so the tank was well sealed.
He went away for a long weekend, and as these things are wont to do, the
filtration system immediately went down, probably as he locked the door.
Octopus like clean water, so this one made the effort and went over the
wall. There was *no* problem in finding where this one went to, after 3
summer days in Sydney. At least rainbows just go crispy in the corner.
