Octopus mariles [Octopus mariles]
Description
Divers may encounter Octopus mariles in areas with suitable hiding spots, where it hunts and rests between bursts of activity. Look for subtle color shifts and a sudden change in body position—signals it’s aware of you—followed by a quick retreat into cover if you get too close.
