This exquisite orange cirrate octopus, Cirrothauma murrayi, is commonly known as the blind cirrate octopus because its tiny eyes don't have lenses and cannot form images. These finned octopuses belong to an order of animals called Cirrata named for the presence of finger-like structures called "cirri" on their arms, which may aid these animals in capturing food.⁠ This species is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic ocean basins from 2,430 - 4,846 meters (7,972 - 15,898 feet). // Repost: Mo

Making a rare appearance, this ethereal cirrate octopus was captured on film by MBARI’s ROV Doc Ricketts as it swam over Taney Seamount. This charming cephalopod gave us a perfect view of its cirri-lined arms as it pulled its arms up over its eyes. These cirri are finger-like appendages used to sift through sediment to find prey like small crustaceans and worms. | MBARI

Dancing at a depth of 1,600 meters, our team spotted this elegant octopus billowing its arms like a circus tent while exploring southwest of Baker Island in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. Experts believe the cephalopod belongs to Cirroteuthidae, a family of cirrate octopuses, but the exact species is unknown. Little is known about Cirroteuthid octopuses, other than that they often swim or drift near the seabed at depths of over 2,000m where light does not penetrate the cold
