Meangensis Dumbo [Grimpoteuthis meangensis]
Description
The Meangensis Dumbo is a deep-sea relative of the better-known dumbo octopuses, typically encountered far beyond typical recreational depths. If encountered during specialized dives, divers may notice its gentle, buoyant swimming and the way its fins help it maintain position while foraging.
