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

The argonauts are a group of pelagic octopuses. They are also called paper nautili, referring to the paper-thin eggcase that females secrete. This structure lacks the gas-filled chambers present in chambered nautilus shells and is not a true cephalopod shell, but rather an evolutionary innovation unique to the genus. This female full of eggs was found and relocated 🙏🙏 Video by @onebreathdiver #oceandefender #ohana #life #learn #connect #defend #aloha Aloha www.oceandefenderadventures.com | OCE
