Starry Night Octopus

Found singly, in crevices and holes, over rubble, sand and seaweed bottoms, of coral and rocky reefs, often seen at night while they are out hunting for food.
They feed nocturnally on fish, invertebrates and other Octopi.

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.
