Grimpoteuthis feitiana [Grimpoteuthis feitiana]
Description
A deep-sea dumbo octopus with a gentle, unhurried presence, Grimpoteuthis feitiana is rarely seen by recreational divers. When it does appear, you may notice its broad fin-like structures and slow arm extensions, giving it a graceful, almost ghostly look in low-visibility water.
