Wonderpus octopus
Wonderpus octopus (Octopus sp.). This octopus can change its body shape and colouration, to confuse predators and prey alike. It can take on the form of a flatfish, sea snake, shrimp, jellyfish, crab, lionfish and several others. As well as the form, it also adopts its chosen model's movements, for instance swimming using undulations when mimicking a flatfish. Photographed off Sulawesi, Indonesia.
