East Timor: Feb. 22 - Mini octpus and mobile home

Found this little guy hiding between two shells

Then all of a sudden it opened up and while carrying the shells with its inner suction cups it managed to walk along with the ends of its tentacles.

After scurrying along the bottom for a little way.....BOOM!.... it sandwiched itself back in between the shellls. Too cool!!
