Common Octopus

Octopus vulgaris

Habitat:

Found in tropical waters throughout the world; prefer the floor of relatively shallow, rocky, coastal waters, often no deeper than 200 meters.

Notes:

I first spotted a large conch shell as I was snorkeling. The shell looked as if it had a large clump od algae or something growing on it. As I went to look closer I noticed the clump had eyes right before it made this beautiful display. One of my favorite animals of all.
