While most octopuses hunt at night, the day octopus forages throughout the day. (🎥: Kaush) The day octopus primarily uses its limbs to locate prey (crabs are a favorite food), then injects a toxin produced from its salivary glands, and cracks the shell with its sharp beak. After capturing its prey, the octopus usually retreats to its den to eat at leisure. At night, they barricade their dens with rocks to avoid predators! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

This Pacific day octopus (Octopus cyanea) was all curiosity when one of our remote underwater cameras dropped in for a visit to its reef home in Tuvalu. Pacific day octopuses are capable of changing the color, pattern, and even texture of their skin! They are a joy to watch, and we love observing them on our scientific expeditions. #WorldOctopusDay | National Geographic Pristine Seas
