Lilliput Longarm Octopus

Found singly, on muddy, sandy bottoms, blending in with the surroundings, moving close to the sand so shadows don't form, and moving around to mimic bottom dwelling flounders from the same waters.

Octopus make their homes in holes in the reef or bury in the sand.
They can often be found by the tell tail debris outside the holes.
Octopus feed by grabbing their prey with their tentacles or by spreading their skirt (the webbing between their tentacles) over the reef and hoovering up underneath.
They have a beak for biting their prey, the bite quickly paralyses their prey.
Some of the smaller Octopus are venomous to humans.
