No need to hide -- it's #OctopusFriday! Octopus seen during last #Okeanos expedition to explore Pacific MPAs.

The Bashful Octopus: March 18, 2017

This octopus wanted nothing to do with the ROV and thus did his best to hide, first by burrowing into the sediment and then by changing color.

Colourful copepods. We don't know why some species of copepods have such striking colours or patterns. It's just another #Plankton mystery.

Happy #WorldJellyfishDay! In honor of the day, we've compiled some of our #Okeanos jelly greatest hits: go.usa.gov/xkevu

Jellyfish: April 24, 2016

This jelly, found during a dive at a site informally called “Enigma Seamount” in the Pacific, might not look real – but it is!

Today is #OctopusFriday, tomorrow is #WorldOctopusDay! To celebrate, here's one of our octo faves. More info: go.usa.gov/xkYHS

Dumbo Octopus: April 26, 2014

Seen while exploring in the Gulf of Mexico, this dumbo octopus displayed a body posture, with arms coiled into tight spirals, that had never before been observed in cirrate (or finned) octopods.
