    Octopus Real Estate

    Lovely tale of how some divers helped a baby veined octopus move out of its plastic cup home into a much better shell. Cute video at the end of the article.

    “I try as hard as I can to make people see the ocean when it looks its best. Once I saw a family of anemone fish living next to a corroded battery. That was heartbreaking,” sighed Sigurdsson.

      Was it Li-Ion or NiCad?

      Very sad story either way.

        If you want to adopt an octopus and give it a new shell you can donate £50 a month to Paddys Octopus Charity PO Box 999 Nicocia Cyprus. We are in desperate need of a new octopus pool at our head office villa in Limassol.

            Where do you get the shells from? Are they certified vegan?

              Only natural vegan shells from the Caribbean personally selected and flown back to Europe one at the time.
