F15c # 1.7 Taxidermy Octopus
This is a baby Octopus that did not make it. I have him showcased in a glass dome and he is surrounded by ocean life! there is a real horseshoe crab (damaged) with worm coral in front of the damage, a real sea urchin, starfish, sea fan, driftwood, shell, shell with barnacles that he is mounted on and other natural elements! This display is approx. 7 x 7" and is a nautical style dome with rope out the top. Look how expressive he is! This would be great for a nautical room, boat or just to add to your collection. I do have others that are done also, check them out if you get the chance.
Species - Octopus vulgaris, the Common octopus. Octopus vulgaris, the Common Octopus, is found world wide in tropical and semitropical waters from near shallow shores to as deep as 200m. In actuality, most scientists believe that O. vulgaris actually contains a number of related sister species.
These specimens are all by-products of the seafood industry (specifically, left overs from a local fish market) and would have been thrown out to rot otherwise. No animals were harmed specifically for this product.
NOTE: If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base. Care has to be taken when opening or removing the dome so not to damage the display or specimen.
