Interesting video. The octopus really looks like the creatures it's mimicking. I wonder if it could fool...say a banded sea snake, or a lion fish when it was imitating them. it would be to interesting see their reactions when they spotted the octopus pretending to be them.
I had an octopus for a few months. He would grab the net when I was cleaning the tank and pull on it until I pulled back. Shooting water at me when I got my face close to the tank was entertaining for it. Then he'd race around the tank, changing colors and making his little spines stick up. He was a lot of fun.
