A foraging octopus (Octopus cyanea) attracts several large reef fish, all hoping to get an easy meal disturbed by the octopus. Octopuses generally do not like this extra attention and I have often seen them punch at the fish with their arms to scare them off. Cannibal Rock, Rinca, Komodo National Park, Indonesia. Sawu Sea, Indian Ocean.
