Do mimic octopus's surit out ink?

Answer 1

Mimic octopuses do not expel ink in the same way that some other octopus species do. While they have the ability to produce ink as a defense mechanism, they are more renowned for their remarkable ability to mimic other marine animals to avoid predators. Instead of relying on ink, they often use their mimicry skills to blend in with their surroundings or imitate the appearance of more dangerous creatures.
