Tako Tuesday Week 7 - Caribbean Reef Octupus

You'll never guess where these guys live. Besides what their name suggests, they are also found in rocky sea beds throughout North and South American waters, preferring to hang out in lairs during the day and hunt at night. As shown by the pictured gif, they are quite adept at camouflage, but aren't afraid to splash in color every now and then. They usually grow to about 60 cm (circa 2 feet) and weigh around 1.5 kg (about 3 lb). Not the biggest bois but nonetheless a sight to behold if you can spot them.
