Inside the chromatophore cell, pigment granules are enclosed in an elastic sac, called the cytoelastic sacculus. To change colour the animal distorts the sacculus form or size by muscular contraction, changing its translucency, reflectivity, or opacity 🦑

This is amazing! Is it your video? If so, can I use in online lectures on communication systems in nature?

I wish this would quit popping up in my social media. Isn't that random popping of color what they do while they're dying? That's messed up.

So to be clear; this is an action that they perform only while dying, or is it a form of camouflage they use in the water?

The problem with videos like this is that it immediately makes me want to change my model organism. But then I need to think up all new jokes, and that is just too hard.
