The emperor shrimp is possibly our favorite shrimp (it's a close tie with the Harlequin). It's very pretty but also quite street smart as it has worked out that hitchhiking rides on sea slugs and sea cucumbers is a great way to get transported to different food sources while using very little energy.

The candy crab is only about 1.5 to 2 cms in size and very well camouflaged. It mimics perfectly the colours of the soft coral it lives on and may be white, pink, yellow or red. Sometimes it even attaches coral polyps to its carapace for further camouflage! Footage: Dustin Adamson @OceanShutter Music: Giulio Cercato-Good Vibes

This gorgeous coconut octopus is on a mission looking for food. This carnivore commonly preys upon shrimps, crabs, and clams but will also eat fish if they manage to catch them. They usually hunt at dawn and dusk, using their tentacles to reach into crevices and grab prey. Filmed by Emeric Benhalassa @oceanvizion Music: The Hunter's Quest (feat. Plum Soul) - Jumbo

Close encounter with these magnificent creatures!

Flamboyant cuttlefish are one two cephalopods that "walk" across the ocean floor instead of swimming. They use two large arms and their fins. The flamboyant cuttlefish's arms are long and broad and have 4 rows of suckers. Flamboyant cuttlefish are predators and hunt similarly to their relative, the squid. They have a 'sticky tongue' (technically two translucent tentacles with powerful suckers) that shoots out and catch their prey. Once the prey is secured, they will bring it into their mouth, containing a very powerful beak that will tear apart their food. They normally eat crabs, shrimp, and other molluscs, but will also catch small fish. Before they attack their prey, the flamboyant cuttlefish is normally camouflaged. Once the prey is captured you can see an instant change in the cuttlefish's colors. Video by @oceanvizion
