Just want to share with reefers about the blanket octopus (tremoctopus sp.)! Most octopuses when threatened, will release a cloud of black ink. the blanket octopus however, releases a webbing that expands into a very big and impressive cape that glides through the water. What an amazing animal!! check out the picture here.
