I caught a little octopus in a Mexico tide pool
As soon as I dropped him in a bucket of water, he inked and clouded it all up. After I replaced the water, his next line of defense was to camo himself against the floor of the bucket and changed his color to the pure white of the bucket floor
Then when I was showing him off to my family back at our condo, he used his suckers to climb the wall and then bailed out of the bucket and was like “fuck this shit I’m out” and started just walking/flopping back towards the ocean
I picked him up with gloves (since some are poisonous) and let him go back in the water, but their defenses were pretty impressive
