ARGONAUT 🐙 These tiny pelagic octopus are also known as a Paper Nautilus for the beautiful, paper thin calcite shell the females build to encase their eggs and use as a buoyancy device to transverse the ocean currents. The males are a fraction of the size as the females and don’t form these special shells. This one was using its jet propulsion to steer its jellyfish as a shield, hiding itself from our view. They are rarely seen alive, usually offshore far out to sea unless their fragile shells

You read that right. The male octopus has a modified arm called a hectocotylus that basically functions as a delivery system. 🐙 In some species like the argonaut he literally detaches the arm and leaves it inside the female. Talk about leaving a part of yourself behind. And yes it is an arm not a tentacle. Don't come for me in the comments! #octopusfacts #fyp #weirdnature #oceanlife #learnontiktok
