The disguised octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is one of Indonesia's endemic animal species which was first discovered in Sulawesi in 1998. This octopus excels in the art of imitating and hiding holes in the sand very easily, this octopus is also able to camouflage by changing its body color to match the color of its body. the environment. The uniqueness of the octopus that distinguishes it from other octopus species lies in its ability to imitate the shape and behavior of inanimate objects, such as coral reefs and rocks, as well as other marine animal species. The form of animal behavior in imitating the behavior or appearance of other animals is called mimicry and that's where the scientific name of the disguised octopus comes from.
