Reef octopus (Octopus cyanea) on a coral reef wall. This octopus is common in the tropical Indo- Pacific region. It feeds mainly on crustaceans. It can change the colour and texture of its skin to camouflage itself from predators and prey. It spends much of its time hiding in a den. Unusually for an octopus it is active by day,which has earned it the alternative name day octopus. Photographed in the Andaman Sea,Thailand | |
