Octopuses and fish hunt together. Who takes one for the team?

Dive into the deep blue with us as we uncover the secret lives of octopuses and their fishy friends! 🐙🐟 You might think these underwater pals are just casually bumping into each other, but nope! A new study (by Eduardo Sampaio et al) shows they're actually planning their hunting trips together, like a well-oiled (or should we say well-watered?) team. Who's the boss in this dynamic duo? Is it the clever octopus or the savvy fish? Spoiler alert: I'm not telling you you have to watch!

Join us as we explore how these ocean buddies navigate their grumpy alliance. From octopuses flicking away greedy fish with a tentacle "punch" to fish leading the charge with assertive darts, it's a fascinating dance of cooperation and competition. And guess what? Octopuses even know which fish are the best partners, giving top marks to blue goatfish while blacktip groupers get schooled. 🐠💥 So, who really runs the reef? Tune in to find out!
