Common Octopus

About

A remarkably intelligent, shy creature that hides in rock crevices, often "decorating" its den entrance with shells and pebbles. It can change colour and texture almost instantly to camouflage itself, so it takes a careful eye to spot one. Completely harmless, it retreats the moment it senses a presence.
