This is only a few minutes later, but I'm not 100% if it is the same octopus. It looks more annoyed at being discovered than relieved at slipping back into a hole.

I'm not sure why this one is red. Most octopus can control their body color, but I'm also about 30cm away here, much closer than the previous shots. So it may be a combination of lighting, less loss of colour from the water, and octo-feelings.
