The successor to Paul, the famous World Cup octopus who died last month, moved into his psychic predecessor's aquarium in the German town of Oberhausen on November 3.
Paul II, who is five months old and measures 30 centimeters, was lowered into his new home in a clay pot.
The original Paul correctly predicted the outcome of eight matches at the World Cup. He died of natural causes last week.
It isn't clear whether Paul the Second will also try his tentacles at forecasting.
Aquarium manager Stefan Porwoll said he was "actually supposed to meet his fellow octopus and media star personally and learn from him," the news agency DAPD reported.
