Coconut Octopus
Alternative names: Veined Octopus, Amphioctopus marginatus
The coconut octopus is a medium-sized species of octopus that can be found in the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Oceans. It has a brown colored body that is decorated with some elegant vein-like lines paired with a yellow siphon.
The coconut octopus is often found on the sandy bottoms of the sea and it likes to bury itself in the sand only letting its eyes uncovered.
The females are extremely protective of their eggs and if they feel threatened they will release ink.
