Cirroctopus hochbergi [Cirroctopus hochbergi]
Description
In deep, dimly lit waters, this cirrate octopus may appear as a slow-moving “floating” shape, using its fringed arms to paddle through the water column. Divers who encounter it often notice a delicate, jellyfish-like silhouette and a calm, drifting behavior rather than the quick bursts typical of shallow octopuses.
