A Coconut octopus, Amphioctopus marginatus, crawls across the black sand seafloor in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. These cephalopods use coconut husks, shells, or even bottles to hide in during the day.

$Long Arm Octopus Macrotritopus sp. is pelagic in the larval phase. As adult he lives on sandy or muddy surfaces. \n\nWhen you think of a long-armed octopus, you think of a meter-long animal. It is the proportions, the small head (6cm) compared to the arms (15cm), that make this animal appear so long-armed. \nThe Long Arm Octopus found in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Lembeh Strait, may represent an undescribed species within this genus. \nUnlike some of more robust cephalopods, the Long Arm Octopus are normally quite shy. They are often found resting inside a small hole in the sand with only their head sticking out.\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'56.394 N 125°15'15.588 E at 9m depth$
