Lilliput Octopus [Octopus fitchi]
Description
This tiny octopus is a real “micro-mystery” for divers—small enough that you might miss it unless you’re watching the edges of crevices and rubble. When it feels safe, it may slowly emerge to investigate, using quick color and texture changes to blend into its surroundings.
