Releasing a hatched Crabsquid?

[Mew Mew]

Found a crabsquid egg recently and am now wondering about their behavior if released outside. I know hatched creatures won't attack the player even if they are normally aggressive, but if I were to release my Crabsquid outside, will he still attack the other wildlife in the area? Would he attack my Cuddlefish if I let them outside with him? I've been building my base at the Cove Tree and would love to see Mr. Zappy swimming around outside with the Ghost Rays, but I don't want him eating them. I also wouldn't want him to eat the Cuddlefish when I'm ready to release them shortly before I finish up with the game.

Actually the Crabsquid is an exception. It will attack you upon release. AND, if you release near your base, you run the risk of random lights in future play encouraging it to pop an EMP blast from time to time.

Oh, yes. Your original question.
Home breeding fauna does not change their behavior toward other fauna.

Kippen, you are the crabsquid expert. You got anything else?

The biggest peoblem with the crabsquid is its reaction to light. The cutiefish has 10K health, so he wouldn't be in such a huge danger I think, but having lights going on and off would irritate me and possibly make the base useless.
Why don't you release him close to the ILZ entrance, on the back of the cove? If it stays there, maybe it shouldn't create other problems.

Or put the ugly little stomach bug (the big sack in the membrane is a stomach) in the bioreactor and breed Reginalds instead.

(Just kidding. One of my best game friends is an insane, masochistic, baby squid collector. You people CAN still have functional role in society, with proper care. )

No what you said is right. You really don't want to release them around your base because of the EMP blasts.
Also like you said, they will turn into full-sized, and fully hostile adults when you release them into the wild. They will attack the player on sight.

But they are not completely useless. They are great at chasing of Ampeels, and because they have very little HP you can easily kill them if you want to get rid of them.

Also, they're so CUTE!

So, breed the Ampeels, to clear out the Ghosts and Reapers, and breed the Crabsquids to clear out the Ampeels.
Then I s'pose run down the Crabsquids with your Cyclops (I know that one works just fine.)

I guess I need to find and stash some Crabsquid eggs as part of my bio-control department.

Oh, you forgot to mention that they don't like Warpers. The two will keep each other busy when they are in the same small area.

Idk but mine didn't attack me. He just swam around at the safe shallows and happily killed most of the stalkers and 10 Minutes later he sprinted away and never came back
