The world is cruel but squid are good.

Most octopuses live on the sea floor, but the Football Octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) is one of the few octopus species that lives in the open ocean.

The females of this species have a gas filled swim bladder, which is common for fish but unique among octopuses.

#OCTOtober

A female football octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) floating just below the surface of the water. The top of the octopus's mantle is breaking the surface. The camera is looking into its round eyes. The mantle is an ellipsoid shape and is covered in a bunch of bumps, which are larger towards the bottom. The octopus is a reddish/pink colour on the top, and white on the bottom. The water is greenish.

A blackwater photograph of a football octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) living inside a salp. The octopus has 4 thin arms stretching backwards, and the arms are covered in two rows of suckers. The octopus's head and mantle form a blog that a iridescent white colour but it is is covered in orange chromatophores. It has a round orange eye. The salp is blue, translucent gelatinous, tub shaped blob. There is small purplish thing side and two black things sticking out the left side. The octopus is at the left end.

A close up of football octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) in a small aquarium with a Twin-sailed Salp (Thetys vagina) that is on the right edge of the image. It is a temporary exhibit in the Yogyo Aquarium in Shizuoka, Japan. The octopus is white with lots of red and orangish red chromatophores. Three of its arms are extending back and around its mantle.

A tiny football octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) in black water. It is not clear if it is a juvenile or a dwarf male. The octopus has translucent flesh and red chromatophores, with some iridescence on its eye and two arms. The arms are extending out it in different wavy patterns

It's #WorldOctopusDay!

While I already have a post for #OCTOtober, here's a bonus of some octopus shitposts from personal collection

"Is it really worth it?" meme. Text says "is it really worth it?" and below it is two pictures. The left picture is a flapjack octopus (Opisthoteuthis sp.), probably Opisthoteuthis californiana. It is a small, adorable orange octopus. It has arms that are all connected with gelatinous webbing. It is big round black eyes with orange pupils, and two adorable fins on its mantle that look like cute little eats. The image on the right is a scoop or mango ice cream, which vaguely has the same shape as the octopus. The octopus is circled with a red circle and a red arrow extends from the circle pointing to the ice cream.

A photo of a Curled Octopus (Eledone cirrhosa) sitting in a tide pool with its head and mantle out of the water. It is surrounded by mussels. Text in a black box says "unbothered. moisturized. happy. in my lane. focused. flourishing."

A "live slug reaction" meme, except it is "Live Octopus Reaction" and the image is a low quality image of a glowing sucker octopus (Stauroteuthis syrtensis) Its arms are going out and down with its webbing out. Its fins are tucked in. It is staring at the camera as if you just caught it eating your potato chips at 3 AM.

A blurry photo of a Curled Octopus (Eledone cirrhosa) in a shallow pool on a beach. The octopus is partially out of the water, with its head sticking out and facing forward to the camera. Its arms are spread out. The camera is almost level, slightly from above, so it almost looks like the octopus took the photo, although the photographer's reflection is visible. The beach is brown and muddy. The octopus is orange, with the part out of the water being shiny. A grey, transparent box with white text is going across the image to help make the image look like a Snapchat message. The text says "hey i think you accidentally left me on read haha"

Octopuses tend to be solitary, but the Friendly Octopus (Octopus laqueus) is one of the exceptions.

Although they prefer to be on their own, they are willing to tolerate other octopuses if it means they can have a den. I guess even cephalopods have to worry about having roommates...

#OCTOtober

A Friendly Octopus (Octopus laqueus) sitting on the left side of a rock. Its arms are together, but they go from the top of the rock to the bottom where there is an over hand. Its head is sticking upwards, especially its eyes, but its mantle is dangling down. It has its papillae raised, and it is beige with some dark orange, and it has some sea foam green, especially on its mantle and papillae. The rock is covered with some grey stuff, like algae covered in sand. There is some taller rocks to the left.

A Friendly Octopus (Octopus laqueus) sitting on the sea floor. It is quite small, and it is a behind a rock that is slightly larger than it. The sea floor is covered in irregular small pebbles. The octopus has its arms in a messy pile and has its mantle handing down. It is mostly light brown with some brown and off white. The underside of its arms are slightly translucent and a desaturated purple colour. There are some thin sea plants in the background.

A Friendly Octopus (Octopus laqueus) in a clear plastic. The octopus is in the corner looking out of the container. Its mantle and head is light brown with some light cyan around the eyes. Its arms are light brown and a slightly translucent white. It has two rows of suckers. It is quite small. The water is black, probably a night dive.

A Friendly Octopus (Octopus laqueus) peeking out of a wide crevice. It appears to be hanging from the underside of an overhang, then holding its head and mantle out and up out of the crevice. The arms are mostly hidden in the crevice. The octopus is white, and the surrounding terrain is a sandy beige.

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.
