Tucked away safe and sound in a previously owned razorfish shell is a cute little girl octopus.

I know she is female as just outside her protective hideout there are two very enthusiastic males battling it out to join her.

When all was done and the looser vanquished she did not however bow to the victor’s octpusly prowess.

Instead she chose to stay in her cosy nook and make him wait.

If you have not seen the battle you can find it on Youtube, Octopus Love Triangle
