There are mentions on the web of an octopus climbing out of a tank,
traveling across a dry surface, going into another tank, grabbing a
fish for a meal, and then returning to their home tank. Some web-
comments say there is a video that was on TV. But I haven't found
anything like it on the web. Is this behavior possible? Is this story
true?

I recall seeing that on some TV nature show.

That or some similar show had video of octopuses in the wild camouflaging
themselves. It was amazing, how what had every appearance of being part of a
multicolored coral tree would suddenly take the shape of an octopus and swim
away. It was pointed out that this cell-by-cell color and shape changing
requires a lot of data processing, which leads to the suspicion that
cephalopods may be a lot smarter than one would think.
