Field Notes
Description:
Octopus, 2 - 2½ feet long, looking a lot like a tent, watching me from atop a piece of coral rubble.
Habitat:
Near shore tropical waters; coral reef ecosystem.
Notes:
Spotted just east of the Pearl Harbor entrance channel; note sailor's hat in background. The hat it was recovered, and since it was marked with the sailor's name, it was returned to him; he was not amused. Original medium 35mm color slide taken with Nikonos III using flash; film subsequently scanned and image saved as digital file.
