Amphioctopus marginatus
"The main body of the octopus is typically around 8 centimeters (3 in) in size, and, with arms, approximately 15 centimeters (6 in) long. The octopus displays a typical color pattern with dark ramified lines similar to veins, usually with a yellow siphon. The arms are usually dark in color, with contrasting white suckers. In many color displays, a lighter trapezoidal area can be seen immediately below the eye." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphioctopu...
Spotted 9 of these creatures in a single night dive. This one looks like it made a home in a Cheez Wiz bottle. Depth of about 4.5 m. Anilao Pier, Batangas, Philippines
