Glass Octopus Facts
Our recent footage of this #GlassOctopus raised a lot of questions, so let's "clear up" some facts: This was seen 651m deep at a seamount in Winslow reef complex on Tokelau Ridge in Phoenix Islands Archipelago (US EEZ). During the #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition Dive 433 https://youtu.be/dvG2GdxKfiQ?t=35175 Glass Octopus can reach 11 cm (4.3 in) in mantle length, 45 cm (18 in) when tentacles are included. This species is very rarely encountered, and is considered one of the least studied cephalo

Researchers from Schmidt Ocean Institute were recently lucky enough to spot a rare species of octopus which is famously transparent. The appropriately named glass octopus (Vitreledonella) can be seen floating through the water with its optic nerve, eyeballs, and digestive tract on show.

The #VentUnderworld research team encountered this glass octopus (Vitreledonella) at ~875 meters deep a few days ago. This species is considered one of the least-studied cephalopods: most information scientists have managed to get is from dead specimens found in the stomachs of predators. Clearly the creature is named for its ability to be almost see-through. They switch between transparency and pigmentation to optimize camouflage.

#GLASSOCTOPUS A fascinating and fun fact about the glass octopus is that it is nearly transparent! The glass octopus (Vitreledonella richardi) is a unique deep-sea cephalopod known for its translucent body, which allows it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings in the open ocean. Its body is gelatinous and delicate, lacking the pigmentation found in other octopuses #octopus #seacreatures #marinelife #fyp #animalenthusiast (sc yt: ScienceAlert)

This rarely-seen glass octopus was caught on camera. The clear sea creature was filmed by an underwater robot during an expedition off of the Phoenix Islands, more than 3,200 miles northeast of Sydney, Australia. Little is known about the unique cephalopods aside from the fact that they live in tropical and subtropical areas of the deep ocean. Glass octopuses are so elusive that they were unknown to science until 1918. ‘Expeditions like these teach us why we need to increase our efforts to resto
