Cuttlefish

A cuttlefish's capacity to change colors to match its environment has earned it the moniker "chameleon of the sea." Up to 200 color-changing chromatophores (pigment cells) are stacked atop other cells that reflect light in every square millimeter of their bodies. The cephalopod can use them to shift colors quickly and even construct chromatically complicated patterns. It also contains muscles that allow it to modify the texture of its skin from smooth to rough as needed, helping it to blend in with rocks and reefs.

Cuttlefish may change their appearance in ways that go beyond simple camouflage. It may "glow" with color and light, which hypnotizes fish, making them easy prey. This fish has a very special feature with the point of being able to use the colors it wants, so it is indispensable in the list of the most amazing camouflage animals ocean.
