What color would ya call this? 🎥: @mr.seaoctopus 👽 The Caribbean Reef Octopus is a big-eyed squishyboi who prefers shallow, coral reef habitats where they spend their days hiding in their dens, only emerging at night to forage for food! Their vibrant skin changes are mesmerizing to watch as they change from a luminous orange to purple to a mottled acid wash brown to a ghost like teal while soaring across the reef. (How many times did ya watch this clip?!) This octopus species is a nocturnal ambush predator that moves from surface to surface, treating the reef as its all-octo-can-eat buffet before retreating to its den to snooze the day away. While this stealthy species forages across the reef, it learns where all the good food spots are located. It will return to places of high prey density to hunt, showing that this brainiac octopus processes information, forms memories, and has analyzes information for its benefit!
