The previous photograph actually shows the king of camouflage: an octopus hanging upside down in a deep crevice or hole in the reef that runs across the photograph from left to right. The photograph here is enlarged and turned upside down (so the octopus now appears upright --its eyes and head above its body and tentacles). Is it still too difficult to see? One of the tentacles is folded across the body in front of the octopus. If you look carefully, you can see parts of the white sucker pads on the tentacle in a line across the middle of the photograph. But where is the rest of the animal?
