The eclipse tanks are pretty hard to escape from (I have tape over the opening where the wires come out.

I've actually had pretty good luck getting mine to eat.
I have a couple of customers that have picked up ribbons eating well from me, and my sons has been eating pretty much from day 1.

Really awesome guy. My son love it!

Cool video Mike.

I'm one of the customers who has two ribbons from Mike both eat frozen foods. I've had one for 7-8 months and the other 3-4? Maybe longer can't remember.

Thanks Mike! If you haven't seen the video of the Octo I got from you check here: Octopus

Does it need to be in a species only tank? I'm surprised a 12 gallon is big enough for him.

One of my Ribbons came from Mike and ate for me on day one. My second came from Aqua Hut and ate at the store which was very inpressive as well but didnt eat for me till a week or so later. Mikes ate the same night

He has to have some magic trick to getting things to eat. He had my Regal Angel, a notoriously difficult fish to get eating, eating in less than a week and it has eaten almost every type of food I have put into my tank in the week that I have had it.

I did, very cool.
I don't have video of it eating, but I did get the most amazing sea creature I've ever seen.....a Zebra Octopus.

It is sooooooo cool. got it for a friend. Only one I've ever seen on any stock list.

I'll try to get some pictures.

amazing!

My guess it is a Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus). They are cool.

Unfortunately, we lost Ribbie this week.
RIP.
Strange, he was eating till the end.
One day ate, 2 days later, gone.
Just under 2 years.
Figure not a bad life in captivity.
Now, what to replace it with.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
