Video about cephalopods camoflauging themselves

This is REALLY cool. I have watched an octopus do it at Trunk and squid do it in a few places...

Good morning, Nothintolose!
I work nights, and don't usually catch a new post. I've never seen that at any beach!
That was awesome. My speakers on the computer are on "the fritz", but I watched it without sound, anyway.
Way cool 8) !
Thanks for the link. I can only imagine hearing what Ted said, and the soundtrack,too!

very cool. I love octupi (??) --many years ago i kayaked out to waterlemon and a baby one washed ashore--it was as big across as my palm, it was very cool to see. I put it back into deeper water (since it was having a hard time negotiating the waves)

Wow! This was such an incredible video. I love the Octopus and have seen several on STJ. I am grateful to Captain Phil for teaching us about how to look for Octopus activity and hints on spotting them.
Thanks for posting.
