Jakarta Aquarium: Chambered Nautilus (Nautilus pompilius) SeaWorld Ancol: No cephalopods housed at the moment Formerly housed: Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini, both SeaWorld Ancol and Jakarta Aquarium) Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris, Jakarta Aquarium) Big Blue Octopus (Octopus cyanea, SeaWorld Ancol) Hawaiian Night Octopus (Callistoctopus ornatus, Jakarta Aquarium) Wunderpus (Wunderpus photogenicus, Jakarta Aquarium) Bigfin Reef Squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Jakarta Aquarium) Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus, Jakarta Aquarium) Pharaoh Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis, SeaWorld Ancol) I don't understand why Indonesian aquarias doesn't keep cephalopods pretty well. The longest one was SeaWorld Ancol's Big Blue Octopus, Mamat. It lasted from its debut back in 2003 until 2010, when it died of old age and it was replaced by Gudel, the Giant Pacific Octopus. Gudel died in 2012 and now replaced by an unnamed Giant Pacific Octopus. The old Giant Pacific Octopus died in 2014 when SeaWorld Ancol was closed temporarily due to a land conflict and replaced by a new one in 2016. It is unknown what happened to this individual, but it may have died when SeaWorld Ancol closed temporarily during the pandemic. The same happened to Jakarta Aquarium's individual.
Has any place in Indonesia ever exhibited a wunderpus (Wunderpus photogenicus)? The species was discovered in Indonesia.
Jakarta Aquarium used to exhibit it for a short time back in May 2019. It didn't fare well and eventually died sadly (SHEESH). I managed to see it a bit, since it was very shy and often hides in a rock.
