Octopus anyone?




Today we had the fortune of encountering an octopus that was out and about. Most often, we catch glimpses of an octopus hiding inside a hole, with nothing more than a little bit peaking out, as is seen in the bottom photo. Today's octopus was out in the open, and after putting up with our observations for several minutes, it took off and swam to a lower position on the reef. They are really skilled at changing their coloration to blend in with their environment. The middle and top photo are of the same octopus with different surroundings.
