SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Staffers at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium in California say the trickster who flooded their offices with seawater was armed.
Eight-armed, to be exact.
They blame the soaking they discovered Tuesday morning on the aquarium’s resident two-spotted octopus, a tiny female known for being curious and gregarious with visitors. The octopus apparently tugged on a valve, and that allowed hundreds of gallons of water to overflow its tank.
Aquarium spokeswoman Randi Parent says no sea life was harmed by the flood but that the brand-new, ecologically designed floors might be damaged by the water.
