Octopus sp
This is a small octopus, body size around 1 inch only, very well camouflaged among coral rubble. They have appendages around their body that makes it looks hairy. Rarely sighted and elusive. If not mistaken, not much is known of this specie and it's not described yet.
Highly sought after by Underwater Macro Photographer, some even called it the Holy Grail of Cephalopods
