Re: Pacific Red Octopus

We have tried to get in touch with Roland Anderson, but have not yet gotten a reply. We are basing our research of one of his study's that observed the Red Octopus in beer bottles. We would love to ask him some questions about methods of approach, if anyone knows how to contact him???

Thanks,
