🐙🌊 MBARI researchers captured rare footage of a seven-arm #octopus feeding on a #jellyfish 700 meters below #MontereyBay, marking only the fourth time they've observed this species in 40 years.

The massive #cephalopods can reach 4 meters long and get their name because males hide their eighth arm beneath their eye, creating the appearance of having only seven arms.
