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

$Veined Octopus or Coconut Octopus Amphioctopus marginatus (ex. Octopus marginatus) occurs in temperate and tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific in a depth range from 0 to 190 m, max. length 30cm, mantle length 10cm, max. weigth 400g. \nThe Veined Octopus can bury itself in sand or mud. They also exhibit a curious behaviour adaption of using discarded clam shells and halves of coconut shells for protection. The octopus inhabits sandy and muddy habitats, that offer it little protection from passing predators. Discarded halves of coconut shells are common in waters near human settlements throughout Indonesia. When two halves fit together, the halves make a perfect refuge, difficult for predators to open. \nAmphioctopus marginatus lays up to 100 000 small eggs which hatch into tiny planktonic young. These are carried in ocean currents, accounting for its wide distribution. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°27'13.104 N 125°14'14.634 E at 13m depth$
