Caribbean Reef Octopus camouflage

The Caribbean reef octopus (Octopus briareus) is a coral reef marine animal. It has eight long arms that vary in length and diameter. The mantle is large and chunky in comparison (up to 60 cm long). This species is difficult to describe because it changes color and texture to blend into its surroundings, using specialised skin cells known as chromatophores. Its color range is very large; it can change from crimson to green, and bumpy to smooth. It weighs around 3.3 lb or 1.5 kg.

This has got to be the most colourful and beautiful octopus I have ever seen. Octopi are just endlessly amazing, the more I learn about them the more fascinating they become.

Tremendous species. It's so sad they have short lives. I don't think we even realize how smart they are.
