East Asian Common octopus

Change body color to mimic.

Characteristics

An octopus with a body length of about 60 cm. It camouflages itself by changing its body color to a protective color that matches the surrounding rocks and seaweed. It takes almost no time for the body color to change, and it changes in an instant. The eyes are white with a horizontal black line running through them.

It has long arms and looks slender when swimming. When it senses danger, it squirts ink and runs away.
