White-V Octopus? (Lembeh Strait)

3 posts
  1. Recorded in the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

    Is this a "white-V octopus", Abdopus sp., or another species? Unfortunately I didn't get any video of the end of the mantle where the white marking would be.
    Also, is the white-V octopus generally accepted to be in the Abdopus genus (as opposed to Octopus genus etc.)?
    Full screen, 720p HD may help!

     

  2. From it's habitat I would call this the 'White-V' Long Arm Octopus.

  3. Thanks Kaj. That kind of covers both bases :) I also got a brief answer here. It seems the genus for the white-V is a bit of a mystery until it's properly described.
