Octopus berenice [Octopus berenice]
Description
Divers may come across this octopus in rocky or reef-like areas where it can hide in small spaces and emerge to hunt. It’s often seen as a brief, fascinating glimpse—an arm or two first, then the whole animal—before it settles back into cover. Its camouflage is a highlight, helping it match the colors and patterns of its surroundings.
