Octopuses can use their flexible tentacles to crawl between reefs, crevices and seabeds, sometimes disguising themselves as a bunch of corals, and sometimes disguising themselves as a pile of shiny gravel.

Octopuses usually breed in the ocean in spring and autumn, when the seawater temperature is around 16 degrees Celsius. Octopuses like to lay eggs in snail shells, so you can use a rope to penetrate the snail shells and sink them to the bottom of the sea, and then capture them on time.
