Coconut octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) Date taken: January 17, 2016 at 6:44pm
Dive site: Jahir 1, Lembeh Strait, Indonesia
I've written about these guys before; it's a must to give them a shell and see if they "like" it and try to run away with it (and keep it for protection). So fun to play with; these guys are one of my favorites to find for sure!
