Back diving off Lembeh Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, our dive guide found several mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) for us. These cephalopods are known to "mimic" or impersonate other animals to either evade predators or being stealthy while hunting for prey. In addition to color changing via chromatophores, the mimic octopus can also change its shape and position its arms to resemble other sea creatures. I was able to determine several poses of imitating a lionfish, waving its arms like a sea snake, and then the swimming like a flatfish, such as a sole or flounder. Do you see any mimicking creatures or behaviors that I missed?
