16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Caribbean Reef Octopus during a night dive
This octopus was out for a hunt. We were lucky to follow it over the reef as the chromatophores changed from red to yellow to brown. We also saw the iridophores in their blue and green dazzling colors. Such a show!
