The image depicts a large octopus, likely a Giant Pacific Octopus, submerged within an aquatic exhibit. The scene is located at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City, United States. The octopus, exhibiting a reddish-brown to orange coloration, occupies the majority of the frame, with its mantle and multiple tentacles spread out. Its right eye is visible, looking towards the viewer. Numerous prominent suckers are visible along the underside of its tentacles, some appearing pale or translucent under the lighting. The exhibit features a light-colored gravel substrate at the bottom and large, irregular rock formations in the background and beneath the octopus. A translucent, dome-shaped enrichment object is partially visible on the lower left, reflecting a concentrated point of blue light. Yellow and blue tubing or cabling is present on the gravel, partially obscured by the octopus's tentacles. The water is illuminated with a predominant blue ambient light, creating a dimly lit underwater environment. Another textured, purplish-blue coral-like or rock structure is visible in the upper left background.
