Very difficult to find, and even rather rare, this octopus is visible in night diving. Measuring a few centimeters, this one hides in the corals and remains very shy.
He eats small shrimps, crabs and shells.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
