Thanks a lot lgCostaNut! I'm really excited about this community. auntnance123: This is a wild octopus I found at the Ogden Point Breakwater in Victoria, BC. There are many of them around Vancouver Island. They're definitely one of my favorite animals in the area. The other may have been at a local Victoria aquarium, Undersea Gardens. Thanks for the comments!

Cool creature. Did you see this at an aquarium or in the wild? This spotting was in the same area: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7440078
