The day octopus (Octopus cyanea), also known as the big blue octopus, is a large, diurnal cephalopod found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific. Unlike most octopus species, which are nocturnal, it is active during daylight hours, particularly at dawn and dusk.
Renowned for its intelligence and remarkable camouflage, the day octopus can send shadow-like waves of colour across its body — a haunting display believed to startle or mislead prey into moving incautiously.
A creature of movement, mystery and shifting light, this life-like brooch captures the quiet drama of the ocean, allowing any ocean-lover to carry their love of the sea with them.
