@mbari_news: When you realize you're on camera and casually turn to your good side 😉📸⁠ ⁠ This midwater octopus, Japetella diaphana, looks more like a deep-sea squid than an octopus. Unlike other octopuses, Japetella lives exclusively in the midwater at depths of a few hundred to over 1,000 meters (about 500 to 3,000 feet). ⁠ ⁠ This charming cephalopod is found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world's oceans. Its skin is covered with chromatophores, which are pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells that allow it to change color. #DeepSea #DeepOcean #MBARI
