Deep below the ocean’s surface, just off the Central California coast, thousands of pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) gather near an extinct underwater volcano. MBARI and a team of collaborators used high-tech tools to monitor the Octopus Garden and learn exactly why this site is so attractive to these animals. After three years of study, researchers confirmed that Muusoctopus gather at the Octopus Garden to mate and nest in cracks and crevices bathed by deep-sea thermal springs. This site is the largest known aggregation of octopus anywhere in the world, with more than 20,000 octopus nests. The abundance of other marine life that thrives there underscores the need to understand and protect hotspots of life on the deep seafloor from threats like climate change and seabed mining.

I love how the mom(?) octopus seems to brush away the shrimp that gets too close to the newly hatched octopus. Fascinating. Thank you.

That was super cute. All those beautiful little baby octopuses, floating away, all so different. It must be marvelous to be an octopus, swimming like that. So effortlessly. The garden itself was amazing.

Life of an octopus is really nice indeed. Always on the lookout for food and from predators trying to eat them. What a wonderful life.

The life cycle of an octopus is so sad yet beautiful, both parents die in the process of creating offspring’s, the almost dead bodies of the female octopuses laying there on the sea floor wrapping the eggs, and the newly hatched babies floating by its really pretty and sad.
