The mimic octopus is known to mimic other animals. it will mimic the predator of any animal it wants to scare off as well as a flounder to move about unnoticed, a rare animal that is a passive and aggressive mimic. The octopus in the first photo is doing its best sea snake impression.

amazing afternoon snorkel! went out to show some people two harlequin shrimps and ended up witnessing two frogfish mating! The male (red) tried to push the female (yellow) off the sponge and off the bottom to signal her he was ready to mate. She finally gave in and started swimming upwards, with the male following, her, until she released her eggs into the water column where the male fertilized them. In other words, they both swam and started spinning around like crazy while shooting out the good stuff, which turns into a little pastry-looking raft that will float for a month or two until the baby froggies are ready to enter the real world…
