Dear friends: In a blink of eyes, Mimic Octopus can emulate poisonous Lionfish and other sea creatures to scare others away and protect themselves from their predators!!
2 color Chromaticity charts to match color: just matching all the range of color is difficult, let alone mimicking and impersonate other creatures vividly!!!
Furthermore, Octupus & Cuttlefish are color blind, how can they match colors?
These are interesting links for you below!

1. Cuttlefish
have not one, not two, but three hearts!
Two hearts are used to pump
blood to the cuttlefish’s large gills, and the third heart is used to circulate
oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
2. Cuttlefish
have truly impressive vision
Cuttlefish can see what’s
behind them. It can see well in low light and can also detect polarized light,
enhancing its perception of contrast. The cuttlefish moves its lenses by
reshaping its entire eye. Also, the cuttlefish’s eyes are very large in
proportion to its body and may increase image magnification upon the retina,
while the distinct ‘W’-shaped pupil helps control the intensity of light
entering the eye.”
3. Chameleons
of the sea
Cuttlefish are referred to as
the “chameleons of the sea” due to their color-changing abilities. They can do
this even though they are completely color blind. They can even successfully
change color to match their surroundings in complete darkness. Cuttlefish
are cephalopods, which means they are in the same class as octopus who are also
great at camouflage.

10. Cuttlefish Can
See Light Invisible to Humans
Cuttlefish can’t see color, but
they can see polarized light, an adaptation which may aid in their ability to
sense contrast and determine what colors and patterns to use when blending into
their surroundings. The pupils of cuttlefish are W-shaped and help
control the intensity of light entering the eye. To focus on an object, a
cuttlefish changes the shape of its eye, rather than the shape of its eye’s
lens, as we do.

Mimic Octopus Changing Color, Shape and Behavior
The Insane Biology of: The Octopus
That echoes that God created all creatures according to their own kind. ( Genesis 1:20-21 Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—
Marine biologists have not fully cataloged all of the animals that the mimic octopus can imitate. It is believed that the range of animals that the mimic octopus can emulate varies depending on the immediate area which a single specimen inhabits. In other words, depending on what other sea creatures are their neighbors, those are the species that the mimic octopus will “assume.”
The mimic octopus not only takes on the general shape and coloration of those animals, but it is also able to mimic their movements and behavior. The mimic octopus doesn’t just try to blend in — it acts like the animal that it is mimicking. Think of them as the “Rich Little” of octopi.
When marine biologists first discovered this species of octopus in 1998 they were impressed by its “shapeshifting” abilities. There are no other species of octopus which can do what the mimic octopus does. Yes, there are many octopi species which are adept at camouflaging themselves into the background of their respective habitats by changing pigmentation, but none come close to what the mimic octopus does.
