I've heard they are strong and will pull rocks down and cause a glass breaking avalanche.
winyfrog
Yep!
octopus are strong and can move things around, as well as open their tank lid.
A cuttlefish won't do that though.

winy what do you have to feed cuttlefish?
winyfrog
Yep!
When they are babies they will only eat live foods. I ordered them live mysis. Now they are 4 months old we have trained them to eat frozen shrimp (that you buy from the butcher block at the store) I tried to give them krill but they wouldn't touch it, silversides they would take but drop them later. I will also feed them for a treat live fiddler crabs.
I am hoping to get some eggs in the next month or so. I know that I have a least 2 males but unsure about my other 3.

They sound like they can be a challenge. Too much work for me!
