Wunderpus photogenicus is often confused with the similarly coloured mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus. Both T. mimicus and W. photogenicus can have variable activity patterns; however, T. mimicus is most often diurnal, while Wunderpus tends to emerge very slowly from dens in the sand at dusk and dawn and is a crepuscular hunter.
