Have you researched their care requirements and short lifespan?
They are very neat and interesting and intelligent creatures, but they can be challenging to keep, and their lifespan is about 18 months or so. They die when they reproduce (or reach the age of reproduction.)
I personally don't get them in but if somebody had a suitable tank set up and ready, and fully understood what they were getting into, I could get one in.

We recently did a custom octopus setup; VERY cool setup.
We don't stock them, but can definitely take care of you with the appropriate aquarium and livestock. :thumbs:
