Genus
Common name: Day Octopus
Scientific name: Callistoctopus
Callistoctopus is a genus of octopuses known for their diurnal activity, unlike many other octopus species that are nocturnal. Members of this genus are characterized by their distinct long arms and often display a variety of colors and patterns. They are intelligent and can be a fascinating addition to a large marine aquarium, provided their complex needs for space, enrichment, and secure enclosure are met. They are known for their ability to escape from poorly secured tanks.
