Many cephalopods have special cells in their skin tissue called chromatophores that enable them to change color very rapidly. As a part of their neuromuscular system, these cells receive signals from the environment that an octopus can use to inform color change. Octopods of this particular species can change color almost instantly as they move over their environment, making them nearly invisible to predators!
