Coconut Octopus - Amphioctopus marginatus Rojos, Lembeh. I have included this pic to show how small are the Coconut Octopuses that we were finding in Lembeh. When you show them in a picture they look much bigger than they really are. Each metal segment of the pointer is an inch (1.25 cm).<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/72273/coconut_octopus_-_amphioctopus_marginatus.html" title="Coconut Octopus - Amphioctopus marginatus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2298/72273_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=A6GxYz2abycKCdFtInOqJAZVcjA%3D" width="200" height="150" alt="Coconut Octopus - Amphioctopus marginatus Rojos, Lembeh.<br /> The same octopus, back to its shell and spreading its tentacles over it.
