Pale Octopus [Octopus pallidus]
Description
Divers may spot this octopus tucked into rocky crevices or sandy bottoms, often looking pale and subtly mottled against the substrate. When it feels threatened, it can rapidly change color and texture, and it may extend its arms to appear larger before retreating.
