is the only way to describe the display,
in this short clip which was captured during a blackwater night dive in the Lembeh Strait, a blanket octopus (Tremoctopus spp.), unfolds and displays a colorful web multiple times her
original size, although the male only reaches barely an inch in size, the female, which is the one with the translucent web reaches over 6 feet long,
apparently the females only unfurl their color-changing blankets to
appear larger and more intimidating to potential predators, shared by NAD
Lembeh Resort, the underwater video was taken on a RED Gemini with a 50
millimeter Zeiss Macro lens. You might also want to check out this footage of
a blanket octopus in waters near the Philippines, as I said stunning, I wonder what other wonders of the deep there are out there?
