Amazing camouflage!
It's their own camouflage, and very effective at that. It's fooled a couple of my marine biologist diver friends, even when I pointed it out.
Are they covered with their own red hair, or is that some sort of red algae? This is a lovely, if hard to see, animal.
They are very well mimetized!
