Wunderpus photogenicus [Wunderpus photogenicus]
Description
Wunderpus is a flamboyant octopus with dramatic, mottled patterns that can look almost like camouflage art. Divers may spot it perched on the seafloor or tucked into crevices, where it can change its appearance to match the surroundings. If you’re lucky, you’ll see it slowly emerge, then freeze again—an unforgettable, photogenic reef moment.
