Wow, they are almost identical so I could see the confusion. Is that the only difference between them? Can they two mate?

Here's a webpage that might help too- it has side-by-side mimic and wunderpus photos

I've also attached a flyer describing our needs for pictures to support photo-ID work- we're collaborating with dive shops and photographers to monitor them in the wild.
Thanks in advance for your interest and potential contributions to our collective understanding of these amazing animals!
take care,
Crissy

Crissy, I saw that too when I was doing the initial research....that was a REALLY slick find, thanks for sharing it with all...
Great user name by the way, I got a good laugh out of it! I am into the wee critters too and am looking forward to testing out my new underwater tripod for the HD videocam and new +5 achromatic diopter.
