Octopus bulbus [Octopus bulbus]
Description
Divers searching sandy or rocky bottoms may come across this octopus near burrows or sheltered spots where it can ambush prey. When it’s active, it can look strikingly patterned and dynamic, using rapid color changes and body positioning to blend in and then suddenly commit to hunting.
