Today we found this small octopus, atop a little patch reef. It stayed in one spot as long as we watched it, apparently trying to open or crush some kind of shelled prey item. The name "Caribbean two-spot" refers to the false eye spots below each true eye.
While we watched this 8-inch octopus, it changed colors several times. The rapidity of the color changes is amazing. These three photos were taken within about 5 minutes.
