Most of the time an octopus will just hide from his enemies.

He has excellent camouflage, due to colour-changing cells in the epidermis. In some cases these cells aren't used as camouflage, but as a warning that the octopus is a venomous species.

In the rare case that an octopus is discovered by a predator, he will spray ink as a distraction and quickly swim away ( they are very fast!).
