Blue Reef Aquarium

the amazing octopus

With three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to change both its shape and colour it's little wonder that the octopus has amazed and terrified mankind for centuries.

However it's less well known that they are also among the ocean's most intelligent inhabitants - capable of solving complex puzzles and tests of memory.

At Blue Reef we even have octopus that can unscrew jam jars to get at the food inside!

Discover all about these 'Einsteins' of the deep' and their close cousins the squid, cuttlefish, nautilus and argonauts and come nose to nose with the giant pacific octopus!
