Ocho!
"Ocho" is a completely nocturnal Octopus, so every shot I've ever gotten was at night with a flash. After doing some extensive research, I found out I had an unidentified Octopus. The only other known photos are from Dr. Roy from UC Berkeley While diving at night on the Island of Moorea off Cooks Bay collecting Stomatopod larvae. His only sightings were of paralarva during the month of October and never saw an adult except for the paralarva that he reared to adulthood. His pictures were published in Norman's Cephalopods: A World Guide, on page 255. He said "Until now, my photos were the only record of it." So, here is one of the better shots I was able to get of Ocho........at 4:42am.
