WHY OCTOPUSES LOVE CORAL REEFS

Written by Michał Girdwoyń

Picture this: coral reefs are like the ultimate hide-and-seek spot for octopuses! These underwater wonderlands offer octopuses all the comforts they could ask for.

First off, those little gaps between the rocks are like cozy caves for our eight-armed pals. Octopuses can slip into these snug spots during the day, then venture out at night for a bite to eat.

And speaking of food, coral reefs are like a giant buffet for octopuses! There’s a whole menu of yummy snacks, from tasty clams and shrimps to juicy fish and crabs. You can even spot octopus hangouts by the leftover shells scattered around.

But it’s not just about food—coral reefs also help octopuses play dress-up. With their special skin powers, they can change color and texture to match the coral, keeping them hidden from sight.

So you see, coral reefs are like a dream come true for octopuses, giving them everything they need to thrive in the big blue sea. Let’s make sure we take care of these amazing places, because when octopuses are happy, the ocean is a better place for everyone!
