Transparent can still be more visible than good camouflage. Just look at how well they can imitate rocks and similar debris: https://youtu.be/q8xJ13pAZNw
With absolute sincerity my username is totally random. I wanted to pick something with zero connotations/implications (as far as I know) and that I’d not used previously.
I know that octopus ink makes a decent base for pasta sauce, and gets your teeth quite colorful. I think you’re implying you want to be squeezed with some butter and get all over someone’s tongue and molars… You’re so dirty.
They typically can’t. Scientists genetically engineered some squids to have transparent skin, and since their innards and blood are basically already transparent, this is the result.
I don’t know if these genetically modified squids can still change colors though.
If squids can turn transparent, why do they bother with all the colors and camouflage? Maybe it’s just because they like to show off

I wonder how much energy it takes to transform, or hold patterns like that.
Also it’s a bummer they’re lives are so short. We need some more smart octopi in our world.
I’m convinced that if octopi had significantly longer lifespans, they would be the ones dominating this planet, and you can’t convince me otherwise
Imagine how cool their gamepads would be
Maybe transparent is maximum effort? (I have no idea, I’m just guessing.)
Suspicious username…
😆

Wow, escalation.
What? It’s a very offensive racial slur!
LOL! (I assume)
Fixed:
Lol! Nice one

Thanks
