Is a dumbo octopus adaptcamoflage or mimic?

Dumbo octopuses primarily use camouflage rather than mimicry for defense. They have the ability to change their color and texture to blend in with their surroundings, helping them avoid predators. Unlike mimicry, which involves imitating the appearance or behaviors of other species, camouflage allows dumbo octopuses to remain inconspicuous in their natural habitat.
