Many of the other marine life forms at the link are pretty fantastical. The cleaner shrimp are fascinating, and the nudibranchs are simply bizarre. This particular octopus is thumb-sized and venomous. The coolest thing IMO was the link to an article on walking corals. A symbiotic relationship between corals and peanut worms.
