Abstract Sea life. Octopus - Cephalopod. Underwater

Wonderpus photogenicus, commonly known as the Wonderpus, is a small species of cephalopod that belongs to the same family as cuttlefish and squid. It is known for its remarkable ability to mimic other animals, such as venomous lionfish, sea snakes, and flatfish, in order to deter predators and catch prey. This species is found in the sandy and muddy substrates of reefs and other benthic environments in the Indian Ocean, the Philippine Sea, and Indonesian waters. It has a distinctive appearance, with a long and slender mantle, eight tentacles, and a pair of arm-like appendages. The Wonderpus has chromatophores in its skin, allowing it to change color and blend into its surroundings, and it can also release ink to confuse predators. It is a nocturnal predator, preying on small fish and crustaceans, and is highly intelligent and behaviorally complex. The Wonderpus is considered vulnerable due to threats such as poaching for the aquarium trade and wildlife trade, making conservation efforts critical for the survival of this unique and fascinating species.

Octopus is resting on the sand and is camouflaged to blend in with the coral. The background consists of coral and rocks.

A Mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus, is found on the black sand seafloor in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. This rare cephalopod often mimics the shape and behavior of other marine species.

Corals release mucus under stressed conditions such as pollution, climate change, biofouling, pathogens, salinity change, UV radiation, sedimentation and desiccation. They can also use it to capture zooplankton. Ko Rok, Krabi province, Thailand.
