Octopus and Coral Reef

Types of Octopuses – There are more than 300 different species of Octopus that have been identified but there may be many more we haven’t evaluated yet. Through observation and research, it is known that they are all very intelligent creatures.

The Atlantic Pygmy Octopus is very small, only about 5 ½ inches in length overall. Over 3 inches of that is the arms so the mantle part of the body isn’t very much to work with at all.
