Normally I adore all creatures, well mostly, including those from the undersea world. To have one visit my home would be delightful if not for the skewer in one tentacle. It doesn’t look like a friendly implement.
I managed to remove the stick from the octopus. Extricating my finger proved a bit more difficult. But as you can guess, I succeeded unharmed.
Are you familiar with the colorful mantis shrimp? Did you know even the most educated saltwater enthusiasts sometimes insert coral into a tank without knowing the rock carries a predator in hiding?

| At least I nipped this in the bud; our poor veterinarian lost many saltwater fish to a hitchhiking mantis shrimp. And he has a degree in oceanography! |

I know nothing about caring for fish so as much as I enjoy watching them I wouldn't attempt to try and have any. It would be a death sentence to the poor fish.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Big hug and stay healthy. ♥
~hugs~
DeleteI know very little about aquatic creatures.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea those gloves were for you. So glad they made it. (And I rarely pay attention to names, so I don't even recall yours :)
I know nothing about such! Nope, not a single thing! -smile- Lucky, I never tried to keep fish.
ReplyDeleteBut now, _your_ deadly sea creature, looks pretty soft and friendly to me. -smile-

DeleteGlad you were able to rescue the octopus :)

DeleteYou are educating me on aquarium life!
ReplyDeleteCool!
DeletePoor babe. I bet that aquarium looks amazing and that critter is so cool looking.
ReplyDeleteI like watching fish. Always fancied having aquarium at home. Never got done to getting one!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you ever do, take my advice and go larger than you think you want. I regret not having one at least two or three times larger as they are actually easier to maintain on the water chemistry level and support a greater variety of fish. Many aquatic life forms should have more space than pet stores will admit. Take care!
