Teeny Tiny Octopus

This little octopus measured only about 10 centimeters (4 inches) across! Notice how it is dwarfed by the beautiful bubblegum coral as it makes its way along a ledge on a rocky outcrop! Seen at a depth of 1,612 meters (5,289 feet) during Dive 07 of the 2023 Shakedown + EXPRESS West Coast Exploration expedition.
