Octopus nanus [Octopus nanus]
Description
As a smaller octopus, Octopus nanus often stays close to the ground, using small holes and rubble as cover. Divers might notice it during careful searches of crevices—especially when it extends an arm to investigate passing shadows. Its compact size and quick, darting movements can make sightings feel like a brief underwater “pop-in.”
