Summer classes started at the Bodega Marine Laboratory this week, and with all of those keen eyes around, special things are bound to be found!
Above, a small Red Octopus (Octopus rubescens) discovered this morning.
Thanks to James for spotting the octopus, which was observed for a short time in the field and then released.

The Better To See YOU With
Wow! What large eyes. That fellow just vibes intelligence (and wanting to be back in its ocean :)
He's beautiful! ... Lover that "Are you lookin' at me?" expression!
Hi, all!
This was a beautiful juvenile octopus, and yes, it went back to the low intertidal zone after all of the students saw it. I particularly liked how you could see so many of the arm suckers in this photo, and the amazing chromatophores!
