A local fisherman has pulled up three Curled Octopuses off Jersey’s West Coast, an occurrence that is “very unusual and rare”. The above video has been posted on Facebook and raised quite a success [source].

The curled octopus is named after the way it curls up its arms. As other octopus, it is quite intelligent and able to recognize us (it will closely observe divers from a distance).

The curly octopus is red/orange, but it can change color and expand when it is frightened.  You may have seen many pictures of it without knowing. As an example, this is how it usually looks:

And this is how it looks when it expands:
