During a night dive in Philippines, i filmed a strange octopus.
It was in 1,5 meters of water in sand and rock bottom.
Its size resemble those of the blue ring octopus.
I was very impressed by his behavior.
Compared to the other octopusses, it did not camouflage with the bottom but it relesed a strange skin effect.
Frequently a dark row start from its head and goes down till the front arms like a flash.
I had the impression that he told me: be careful, i am dangerous!
Is it possible that this octopus is poisonous?
Like the blue ring and the flamboyant cuttlefish.
