Low tide find of the day: An Atlantic Pygmy octopus scoping out a cockle shell to see if it’s a good hiding spot. After I stopped recording it slipped under it too! It’s always important to check the shells you collect for inhabitants for this reason. Never take a live shell or a shell away from a living creature, like an octopus or a hermit crab, that’s using a shell as it home or hiding place. Practice ethical shelling only! | Colleen Marie

This is a Pygmy octopus, so very cute & quite small. This one was washed ashore probably from coming out of a shell he used for housing at low tide, but to be able to experience this on a tour is just one of the greatest joys of our job. Did you know that the pygmy has approximately a year lifespan, give birth to about 140 to over 2000 eggs and once the hatchlings are full formed and can hunt within hours, reaching maturity in about 182 days? Capt Colt returned him/her back into the water unharm

Wow 🐙 Pickles, the giant Pacific octopus, put on quite the show for our aquarium team! We don't often capture color change like this on camera, so we're excited to share this fantastic video with you! Specialized cells called chromatophores are what give octopus and other cephalopods, like squid and cuttlefish, the ability to change color. 📷: ASLC Seasonal Animal Care Specialist Emma | Alaska SeaLife Center
