The Caribbean reef octopus is an absolute master of disguise and one of the most intelligent known invertebrates. Individuals of this species can completely change their color from one moment to the next using specialized color cells called chromatophores. In doing so, they often perfectly blend with their surroundings, even when settled on a surface with multiple colors. They also have such amazing control of their skin and muscles that they can match the texture of their surroundings as well.

Captured this Caribbean octopus during a night dive. These incredible creatures can change color and texture to blend into their surroundings perfectly. They hide in small crevices during the day and come out to hunt at night. Did you know octopuses can regrow lost arms?

As the common reef #octopus (Octopus cyanea) moves across the coral reef, it uses chromatophores to change its coloring and appearance to match the substrate beneath. These color changes are sometimes created to mimic a dark shadow passing across the surface — in hopes that a crab may let its guard down and become a snack. 🐙 #ocean #science | Science Channel

The Caribbean reef octopus is a master of camouflage. Often, it is so well hidden, it cannot be spotted until it moves. Even though these animals are colorblind, the Caribbean reef octopus can change both its skin color and texture to match any background.
