The Hawaiian Short-Arm Sand Octopus can be found in and around sand channels where, at night, it forages for food along the ocean floor. Shots were captured @ "Mid Reef", Molokini Crater, Maui. 2004

  • WOW !!

    You must be from somewhere really bitter.
    What's the problem? Why are you so mad?

    Take vacation.

    Aloha

  • Interesting

    but try to pull back some next time so to give a better picture of what you are filming. It will let the wildlife act in a more natural manner and not try to run and hide.

  • Peaceful?

    Didn't look so to me, looked a bit blinded and spooked by the light shining on it.

    • Really

      Still looked a little slitty eyed to me. But they do have eyes so they must use them and because they live underwater they may be light sensitive. It wasn't just the eye's that made me think it was spooked, it was the way it didn't seem to know which way to go. I'd understand some hesitant movement if it was after some prey but I didn't see any, probably coz of the light.

    • Limpids

      do you dive? or are you just assuming these comments?
      if you look closely, its feeding on limpids, a tiny shrimp that swarms in our lights....I am sure the octopus was feeling just fine with all that food I was attracting for him.
      Aloha.

    • No I don't dive

      I see. I appreciate this feedback as it explains that the octopus was getting a great feed because of the lights. Thank you for letting me know.
