Info White-spotted octopus (Callistoctopus macropus), Cynthiana, Paphos, Cyprus. This species of octopus can be found in shallow areas of the Mediterranean Sea, the warmer parts of the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Indo-Pacific region. This octopus feeds on small organisms which lurk among the branches of corals and grows to a mantle length of 20 cm (8 in) with a total length of 150 cm (59 in). The first pair of arms are approx. 1 metre (3.3 ft) metre or so long, and are much longer than the remaining three pairs. The arms are all connected by a shallow web. This octopus is red, with white blotches on its body, and paired white spots on its arms. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:09, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't know ... it just doesn't stand out for me like some of your other underwater pictures have. Daniel Case (talk) 19:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case: It does to me. I've seen maybe 50 octopus underwater in my life. Only one of them was not a common octopus (this one),...Poco a poco (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also checked the material we had so far on Commons. Before I uploaded 4 images of this exemplar we had so far only 2 images in the corresponding category of this species one of 800KB resolution (taken from this website, where I couldn't find any free license, so a possible license violation) uploaded in 2009 and another one of 1100KB (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) uploaded in 2004. My candidate has a resolution of 16MB. On the other side we have in Category:Octopus vulgaris 151 images not counting those from zoos. --Poco a poco (talk) 21:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
