Octopus hattai [Octopus hattai]
Description
This species is typically encountered around sheltered areas like crevices and rocky bottoms, where it can remain hidden for long stretches. Divers who spot it may see a slow, deliberate “search” with its arms, followed by quick retreat and impressive camouflage when the environment changes.
