Is it possible to find the Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus Mimicus) in the Red Sea?

Because there have been a few reports of them being sighted in Sharm El Sheikh. They look the same as the photos I have been able to find of the Mimic Octopus in the Western Pacific. I saw one the other day doing what appeared to be a lionfish impression.

Any info would be really appreciated.
