; a quiescent one characterized by washed-out colorlessness, and an active, REM-esque one characterized by vivid flickering color changes, cycling through at 30- to 40- minute intervals.

Roughly every hour this would change: for about a minute, the skin of the octopuses would flicker through a series of patterns, their eyes and limbs would move, and their breathing would quicken, before settling back down to the quiet state.
