We’re maximizing our baby cephalopod time today with this baby octopus! This larval octopus was caught during ocean monitoring efforts with the Applied California Current Ecosystem Studies program in Cordell Bank and Greater Farallones national marine sanctuaries. Have you ever seen something so adorable?
Look closely and you can see small spots. Those are cells called chromatophores, which will help the octopus change color and camouflage itself as an adult!
