Long arm octopus

Scientific name : Octopus sp. 3


Light brown octopus, with small white spots. Skin can be rough and with small spikes. Body 4 cm, tentacles 15 cm.
Living on sandy bottoms, in bay and lagoon. It spends the day using for shelter burrows from other animals. Active late in the afternoon and at night.
A very similar undescribed species is popular as white V octopus, from a V shaped spot on the back. Even if our species is very similar, we have never been able to see the white V.

Associated organisms
