Info

Octopus sp. Cuvier, 1798 ?

Commonly known as ther Hairy Octopus. Its an undescribed species.

The Hairy Octopus looks a lot like the Algae Octopus, which is another Indonesian habitant. But the Hairy Octopus is much smaller.

This very small octopus has been known to occur in the Lembeh Strait off North-Sulawesi Island in Indonesia, mainly in the months of October and November. Its size is merely 2 to 5 cm ( around 2 inches), which makes the Hairy Octopus difficult to be spotted.
