Dumbo Octopus
Ok, this one is adorable, and he got his name from a nostalgic character deep in our hearts. This little octopus lives down deep in the sea and get their names from the dumbo-like ear fins just above their eyes. Inside they either have a V shaped or U shaped inner shell giving them the appearance of a bell and either have spines, suckers or both on their 8 stubby tentacles.

Coffinfish
Back to creepy ones, this Coffinfish who is actually a form of a sea toad can be found at depths of 150-950 ft in the waters of the southwestern Pacific and the coast of Australia. Not unlike the Anglerfish, the Coffinfish has a little illicium that protrudes from its face then retracts into a groove to protect it.
