Mimic Octopus

It is a wonderful creature. First discovered in 1998, this newbie creature has wowed scientists and divers with its incredible ability to mimic several different underwater species to hide, hunt, and escape. https://oceaninfo.com/animals/mimic-octopus/

It really is quite fascinating- is that metal piece prodding it so you can see it better? It really has some pretty swirls to it.

@beverley365 I have returned home already and am now sorting out the photos. They are not great photos and I need to improve my underwater photography skill.

@olivetreeann The metal piece was used by the dive master to show us the creature.
