I have kept may octopus over the years "About 17" and about 7 different species. All have the ability to change color instantly. all of them are fantastic at camo. Sometimes I would be looking for them in one of my tanks and could not find them only to find them a few mins later right in front of my face. I am going to start a new thread and put up a couple vids of some of my octos over the years.

nice thread sirrealism: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forum/index.php?threads/couple-vids-of-my-past-octopus.94256/

Here is another video, I originally saw it on advanced aquarist.

An octopus labors great distances out of the water towards human onlookers and leaves a crab at the onlookers' feet before returning back to his salty pond. Is this an octopus offering a tribute or simply a confused cephalopod high-tailing it out of there when he realized he was heading towards people?
