Species: The Hairy Octopus

Ok, the species name is not official. Not much is known about this elusive non-identified species of octopus, although I did find it on one site labeled as "The Holy Grail of Cephalopods". How cool is that? These hairy lookin' fellas are found in the waters of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

These photos were taken in Satonda, Indonesia. More wonderful marine-life shots from Eric Cheng can be found on Flickr .


Less than 1 inch in length!

There are also a few good shots shots on Diving4Images.com. It would be a copyright infringement to post them here, so you'll hafta' mosey on over there to see for yourself.
