Found at low tide . Longer arms and subtle differences distinguish it from similar Octopus rubescens ,

The color change was so, so awesome. In fact, this little guy was quite a performer! He inked, he changed color, he squirted water at us with his siphons. Ok, I do feel a little guilty that these were all signs of terror, but they were also amazing!

Other photo shows closeup of its eye - can see the chromatophores, very cool.

Lucky shot of it using a huge jet of water from its siphon to shoot completely out of the water (and the dish)! It had been sulking in the dish after being captured by a group of students; see rock-coloration in second photo. The third photo shows it going back to sulking after its unsuccessful escape from the paparazzi.

Two octopi seen tonight. The first one I saved from a gull that was carrying it off. It was kind enough to let me photograph it, before slinking away. The second one was not quite as photogenic.
