Description: Commonly observed in the deep
sea, for instance in the Faroe-
Shetland Channel. Cirrotheuthis
swim by flapping their lateral fins
hence their common name ‘Dumbo
Octopus’.
From our observations it seems
likely they feed on small benthic organisms. Item Type: Image Title: Cirroteuthis sp., Dumbo Octopus Copyright: SERPENT project Species: Cirroteuthis sp.

Its eyes can only detect light and cannot form images.
