Left: Two views of a very young (paralarval) wunderpus octopus in Anilao, the Philippines. Its body is about the size of a thumbnail. The spots are developing chromatophores, pigmented cells that help the octopus blend into its environment. Right: Typically found in deep water, the adult gargoyle cusk eel is extremely rare and represents the only member of its genus. This specimen, photographed off Florida's coast, is an inch from head to tail. (credit: Linda Ianniello (left );Susan Mears)
