I think this is a Hairy Octopus, about 4 inches long. I'm not really sure, though. Can someone help identify this?
Found it amidst sand and rubble at Toros Point (Secret Bay) in Anilao, Batangas, Philippines. SIghting was at about 20-25 feet.

That is lovely, how did you ever see it? so camouflaged!!
This is not a Hairy Octopus, but likely an Algae Octopus.
Hairy Octopus are much smaller in size like Blue Ringed Octopus or smaller.
