The wunderpus (Wunderpus photogenicus) is a long-armed octopus with striking red-brown and white banding, each animal having a unique pattern.
With a body around 3 cm and arms up to 15-25 cm, it hunts in burrows on sandy bottoms and can mimic other animals.
The Philippines is one of the best places to see wunderpus, usually at dusk.
