Pacific Day Octopus

A Pacific Day Octopus hiding in a crack in the waters off Hawaii

On a recent swim, I happened to pass over this Pacific Day Octopus, wedged into a crack, not far below the water’s surface. It didn’t have a good, quick escape route so waited out my intrusion into its world. On the left is a red pencil urchin that it was butted up against.
