It has one. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:40, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure the statement about camouflage is true.

"it is so well camouflaged that it was 1980 before it was first described.[3]" Reference 3 is behind a paywall, so I can't be sure. However, based on the abstract, the reason it wasn't described until 1980 was not camouflage (they are easy to see and I think common) but because it was confused with a similar looking critter in the Pacific Ocean.
