Just as we suspected, Toby was very much an old little senior octopus. Yesterday we moved him to isolation after he’d become increasingly lethargic and pale, and as we supported his little body the poor creature took his last breaths in our hands and passed away from old age. We estimate by his size that he was a fully mature male Octopus Rubescens, and from the get go we had a feeling he wouldn’t last too long.

I’m heartbroken. Rest in peace little dude.
