I found this shell in Sanibel, Florida and had a little surprise waiting inside.

  • Of course I did! It was too amazing to let it die!

  • how did u get it back to the sea, did u pick it up?

  • I picked it up by the shell, I didn't touch the octopus.

  • wow! First I never was so lucky as to find a shell that big on Sanibel. And secondly if that had come out of the shell!!!!!!Well......I would have jumped out of my skin! Nice that you got that memory digitized!

  • The shell was actually no longer than my hand, it looks bigger in the video. The head of the octopus was a little smaller than a golf ball. It was absolutely one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced!!!

  • The biggest shell that I found was half the size of my thumb. But I did enjoy searching for shells along the sand. Keep in mind I'm from North Dakota so all of this was very new to me. I did find a jellyfish.  I had only seen those on Animal Planet. I did snorkel up to some crabs. I would have loved to have seen that octopus!

  • That was my first time there. I am from Iowa. We had to get up pretty early to get the good shells. Had several larger than our hands, found one that was huge, bigger than my size 9 feet but it was live so we had to leave it.
