Unique and Colorful Octopus and Cuttlefish 

Here's a list of distinct and pretty octopus and cuttlefish. 

There are around 300 recognized octopus species. Most octopuses have no internal or external skeleton, allowing them to squeeze through tight places. An octopus has a hard beak, with its mouth at the center point of the arms. Octopuses are highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent invertebrates.

They are known to build 'forts' and 'traps' in the wild and for rearranging tanks and burying other animals alive in domestication. For this reason, they are quite notorious among aquarium operators. For defense against predators, they hide, flee quickly, expel ink, or use color-changing camouflage.
