Octopus Up Close

Pa's post of his octopus prompted me to have a look at one I have yet to print. This little devil was gliding around off one of the Fijian islands when I blinded him from up close. They are magic things to watch as they change colour & texture. Almost as good as the cuttlefish.
Jet propelled nature at work.
Underwater is worth the effort if you get the chance. :D

He's rather cute! Did you take him as a loungeroom pet?

Hey, don't laugh. When I was diving full on, I had a marine aquarium as well and in that was a blueringed octopus who lived her life in a large barnacle. When she got stroppy, she flashed the most beautiful colours. :)
