giant pacific octopus

Enteroctopus dofleini | i'm not sure they have names, but this is the GPO in the first GPO Tank. MBA has 2 GPO Tanks and usually 2 of them on exhibit at a time. You can see they keep them with other invertebrates and rockfish which a lot of aquariums don't usually do

Enteroctopus dofleini | Collected as a larva and has grown up here the last few months, her name is "Pickles" I believe. She's only 3 inches in diameter right now, but She'll move to a larger facility once she grows bigger, and then eventually will go back to the wild
