While exploring the tide pools at my local beach I discovered a two spot octopus hiding out under a rock waiting for the tide to come back in. I of course pulled out my camera and had a little fun interacting with it.

  • i really want to know what kind of Anemones those are you can see in the footage. Are they the common emerald anemone or something else?

  • @AcanLord It's hard to tell because many of them were buried in sand but it's likely Anthopleura sola. That's our most common anemone around here. I actually have another video from this same day where two were fighting with their acrorhagi.
