There are lots of bizarre creatures in the oceans, but this has to be one of the most amazing: Mimic Octopus.

"The octopus mimics the physical likeness and movements of more than fifteen different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, flounders, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp. It accomplishes this by contorting its body and arms, and changing colour." source

Wow, that was incredible!
And to think that people are still discovering new species all the time.
