Check this out:
Octopus Camo (http://www.big-boys.com/articles/octopus1.html)
This is why it's so hard to find them. Some can find them with ease, and some of us.........

They don't have a big head for nothing. They may be the smartest creatures of the sea. On a side, the last two times I've dove in Miami, I've seen one. The first time, I brought it home with me and was very tasty, the second I was controlling a fish at the time and was unable to find it afterwards. They are so hard to spot them, but once you do, it's all over. Have to me careful grabbing them, they can easily drown you.

I don't look for the octo them selves, but for a hole with shells etc... in front of it. This is ussually a sign a octopus made a home there. From there on it's pretty easy...

Yep. I sure don't have the eye for them. Makes me downright crazy! I've seen guys pull out choke tako over spots that I'd just dove. Oh forget 'em I says. Fish don't frustrate me like them tako do!
