Octopuses are versatile predators; what their shifting, boneless bodies and eight arms can do might surprise you. They are also incredibly stealthy hunters that can ambush their prey seemingly from out of nowhere and disappear just as quickly.

Just ask Porsche Indrisie, who was strolling on the rocky tidepools of Smiths Beach, Yallingup, on Australia’s west coast. Of course, tide pools are a diverse ecosystem of sea life with a wide variety of species; she just happened to be filming with her phone when she captured quite the spectacle unfold.
