This octopus can be found in Asia, it's not very easy to see because it's quite small.
This octopus is also one of the most dangerous underwater species. Its ink if it touches its target can cause cardiac arrest, which can easily cause death if one is a few meters underwater.
But don't panic, the rings become a lot darker and bigger to prevent him from getting annoyed.
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.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
