Simple. It is an octopus that has used its chromatophores to take the colouring of a sea snake. Most of its tentacles are out of view - curled under it or in a burrow. The remaining two are then being moved to mimic a sea snake. In the middle there is its head. It uses this to evade, and potentially scare of predators.

Ignore the main body. Look at the two arms and picture they are one, big sea snake, writing around.
-
are mimic octopi dangerous at all? or is mimicking really all they got

Its imitating the sea snake...
one of the most deadly snakes in the world.

Wonderpus has white spots on top of it's mantle in a somewhat circular pattern, and it's mantle and head are often reddish brown. Took me a while too to see the difference
-
i watch many videos here that have this octopus saying is the mimic, what's the difference? i can really tell just by watching :S

it looks like it has a big moustache

It's not a mimic octopus, but a wonderpus (wunderpus photogenicus), a different species

Dear febufilmz ... my opinion is, that this mimic octopus is mimicing a seasnake.. bevore this the mimic octopus was hunting for tiny crabs in the sand.. when we aproached him he was starting to mimic the snake..
