We just learned about the Grimpoteuthis - Dumbo Octopus.
Another type of cephalopod is Cirroteuthis.
This is an octopus that has webbing in between its arms holding them together.
It almost looks like an octopus wearing a dress!
It can grow to be almost five feet long, and is usually white or purple.
Just like the dumbo octopus, this octopus has fins on its head that it can flap.
They live in the deep sea in cold water, like the Arctic ocean or the south pacific near Antarctica.
Scientists have not been able to find a lot of these, because they live over 6,000 feet deep in the ocean, where there is almost no light.
