Secret Sea Creature Guide: The Octopus Family
Welcome, ocean explorer! If you are reading this, you have found the scroll of secret information in the bottle along with the underwater camera! Within this guide, there are many fascinating creatures to discover, but this one is a surprise you will not expect. Hidden deep beneath the waves, the Octopus Family Living Room remains a mystery that few humans have ever seen. Long ago, a removal van was tossed from a ship in a storm and it sank to the sandy ocean floor. Nearby octopuses were somehow able to drag every armchair, sofa and lamp from the wreckage and arrange them into the cosiest sitting room!

This specially arranged room is where the octopus family lives. Underneath the furniture, the seabed is carpeted with crumbly sand. Sofas are anchored by coral bricks and armchairs lean against rocks. Their coffee table rests neatly on a patch of soft sponge. Overhead, gentle currents carry seaweed that sways like curtains in a watery breeze. Beyond the cosy lamplight, the vast ocean is dark and wild. They are hidden from view amongst the enclosed coral bed. The sunken removal van provides a perfect escape for whenever danger approaches.

To attract their prey, the whole household works together to create a calm and inviting space. The biggest octopus reads a story from a sunken book while the three tiny youngsters perch on the footstool to listen. Rather cleverly, the octopus family organise for two patient anglerfish to dangle their glowing lights. With the lamps lit for storytelling, shoals of fish and smaller creatures arrive and huddle across the sofa. All seems cosy and calm… until the rush of forty tentacles snaffle fish, plankton and crabs into eager beaks.
