| Description: | Blue ring octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa, mollusk, poisonous, venomous) in tidal pool (it's so tiny!). Octopus moving (locomotion) along the bottom of the pool. It's crawling quickly on the sand. CUs and ECUs Some soft focus, some good. Nice shot of the movement of the tentacles (arms). It remains in one place & its body quickly contracts (filtering water through?). Excellent shot of the octopus turned over, its tiny suckers are visible. It pulls itself along upside-down. Finger next to blue ring octopus to establish size. Octopus crawling. | |
