Underwater Reef Octopus (Octapus cyanea) hunting on coral reef - stock video

A common Reef Octopus (Octapus cyanea) is hunting in the shallow coral reef in Phi Phi Archipelago, Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand. Experts at camouflage they have the ability to change colour (metachrosis) to blend in with their surroundings to avoid predation. This makes them extremely difficult to find and film. Here we see how the Octopus uses the skin between its tentacles as a web, or net, to capture fish. Footage taken whilst scuba diving.
