Octopus minor [Octopus minor]
Description
This small reef octopus is a frequent sight for divers who slow down and watch the seafloor. It typically hunts from cover, using its arms to probe cracks and ledges for prey. If you’re lucky, you’ll see it change posture—flattening to fit into tight spaces—before vanishing into its shelter.
