Double Dumbo(!!) Octopus Sightings | Nautilus Live

Our exploration in and around Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument was extraordinary for many reasons but especially because scientists aboard E/V Nautilus were lucky enough to spot not one, but TWO dumbo octopuses. The team was delighted first by spotting a juvenile from the Cirroteuthid family. And later at 2160 meters, the team encountered a full-grown Grimpoteuthis sp. dumbo octopus nearly 1 meter wide who spent over 10 minutes around the ROV. These relatives are both cirrate octopuses, meaning they have strands of cilia-like cirri beside their suckers along their eight arms and modified fins that resemble floppy ears on their heads.
