Recently, a video clip about a strange animal, with a body like ao dai, with a marble head, appeared in the waters of Phu Quy (Binh Thuan, Vietnam) causing a group of people to go scuba diving to panic, had to stop. ships to spread votive papers, burn incense, pray for good things according to the beliefs of the people in the sea. According to experts, this is most likely a blanket octopus.
Previously, the image of a rainbow blanket octopus couple filmed in the Philippines in April 2019 created a fever. The pair of blanket octopuses spread across the blanket and then glided by like a swimming rainbow, creating beautiful swirls.
Photographer Joseph Elayani on a night dive captured incredible footage of a rare pair of blanket octopuses off the coast of Romblon Island in the Philippines.
This creature mesmerizes color changes from pastel blues and purples to vivid reds and oranges.
The video shows a blanket octopus swimming in the water, it flaps its tail like a rainbow-colored blanket floating in the ocean.
At the end of the clip, a second octopus also appears.

“When I saw the rainbow blanket octopus, my fingers were shaking, all I could think was where are the buttons on the camera?” Elani told Caters News Agency.
Blanket octopuses stretch out their arms like stretched sheets to scare away predators. They live in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
One of the most unusual things about blanket octopuses is the size difference between male and female octopuses. Males are about the size of a small walnut, measuring only about 2.4 cm in length, but females can grow to about 1.8 meters long and weigh up to 10 kilograms. The weight of the female can be 40,000 times heavier and the size 100 times larger than that of the male.
When in danger, blanket octopuses often spread membranes between their arms to form a giant tail that makes them larger. This can frighten predators away.
