octopus hunt from BeachBum on Vimeo
Octopuses hunt mainly at night. They hide during the day time and come out at about dusk from rock crevices or holes.They move about silently spreading their tentacles around and into rocks and coral boulders looking for crabs and fish.
The octopus featured in the videoclip was about palm sized and was itself heavily camouflaged with a dark mottled skin pattern. Further, it's skin was contorted into a warty fashion. It got lucky feeling under the rock and seems to have caught a fish which must have been hiding under the rock. The fish did put up a good fight trying to escape but the octopus held firm despite the fish's kicks and jolts.
