Mimic Octopus in Maumere

The mimic octopus is a fascinating species found in our Maumere diving sites. Renowned for its extraordinary ability to imitate other marine creatures, it can transform itself into lionfish, flatfish, sea snakes, jellyfish, and even crabs. This unique behaviour is used to deter predators or stealthily approach prey. Witnessing the mimic octopus in action is a highlight of diving in Flores, making every muck dive a captivating experience for underwater explorers and macro enthusiasts.
