Night Tidepooling for Octopus
These two California Two-spot Octopuses (yes, octopuses, not octopi) were spotted during a night tidepooling session. Octopus are most active at night and are a common find in San Diego.
Sneaky Octopus
Would you have seen him? To find octopus in tidepools you need to take your time and be observant! Octopuses can fit into very small crevices and often are found under rock ledges or hiding in plain sight.
