Cephalopods are quick-change artists. Like a living LCD screen, their skin can flicker and flash, or create complex patterns for camouflage and communication. Layers of specialized skin cells interact to match the environment’s color and texture.

You can see the largest, most diverse living exhibit of cephalopods ever created in our special exhibition Tentacles: The Astounding Lives of Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefishes.

These are, in my opinion, the most majestic animals currently on this earth. 

Here’s a video of them mating from my old PI Roger Hanlon.

omg lol a whole paragraph of this got deleted (the paragraph with the answer to your question).  They can grow up to a meter in total length, or about 50 cm if you only measure the mantle.  WHICH IS CRAZY and swimming with one of these animals is #1 on my bucket list.
