Common Octopus

The classic puzzle solver. You take the jar apart before the ocean finishes explaining it.

Giant Pacific Octopus

Large body, large den, long memory. You hold the hole in the rock like it has your name on it.

Hapalochlaena lunulata

Thaumoctopus mimicus

Mimic Octopus

You do not hide. You audition. The reef gets a different animal every minute.

Grimpoteuthis spp.

Dumbo Octopus

Coconut Octopus

If the ocean did not provide a den, you brought one. Tools are just portable courage.

Night on the reef is your stage. You change color like the coral is giving notes.

You build a paper shell and ride the surface like it is a private boat. The open ocean is not empty to you.
