White-spotted octopus, Spain, 2024
Category - Ocean Worlds
An Atlantic white-spotted octopus moves over the seabed in search of prey accompanied by a cloud of plankton attracted by the red lights during a night dive. The use of low-intensity red lights not only helps to minimise disturbance of the natural foraging activity of certain light-sensitive nocturnal creatures, but also improves the photographer´s chances of documenting their secret lives in the darkness of the underwater night.
