Honu, or Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) photographed while snorkeling in Kaua’i on 1 April 2024.
Not only did Eric get lucky with a sea turtle today, he also photographed a beautiful he’e, or an octopus. We’re not 100% sure, but it might be he’e mauli, or a Day Octopus (Octopus cyanea). Here’s a broad view showing the he’e under a ledge and an amazing close-up, highlighting the eye and the siphon:
With many thanks to honu and he’e, and to Eric for sharing such great photos!
