Octopus hubbsorum [Octopus hubbsorum]
Description
Divers may notice this octopus perched near the seafloor or half-hidden in cracks, using its camouflage to match the surrounding rock and sand. If it’s comfortable, it can be surprisingly interactive, watching divers from its den before changing posture and color when conditions or approach feel too close.
