The smallest species of octopus in the world, growing to no more than 2.5 cm (1 in). They may be small but they have a huge presence as they're found in abundance throughout the West Pacific Ocean, preferring to stick to the shallows.
Their average life expectancy is from 6 to 18 months. One interesting aspect is they spend anywhere from a third to a half of their life in the paralarval stage (basically octopus adolescence).
You know some tough little tentacled tots are gonna emerge if they manage to survive being a teenager for so long.
