Dumbo OctopusBy: Rory Cole

The Dumbo octopus or grimpoteuthis is one of the rarest species of octopus. They move by jet propulsion, using their eight arms, and, or moving their elephant-ear-like-flaps. By using all of these different methods of movement, the Dumbo octopus can hover or swim. They eat copepods bivalves and crustaceans. An interesting  fact about Dumbo octopi is that they eat their prey whole. This kind of octopus can dive farther than any other octopus. They are seen most frequently at depths of 3,000-4,000 meters below sea level, but have been seen up to 7,000 meters below sea level.

Parrotfish (scaridae)By: Sierra Judd

 • Most of the food they eat is algae• If they get any coral when they eat the

algae, it is crushed by the teeth in their throats so that they can get to the polyps, which are full of algae

• Before they sleep at night, they coat themselves with mucus in order to cover up their scent to protect themselves from animals that hunt them

• Related to the wrasse• If you see sand near a parrotfish it is most

likely the coral that was not fully digested and then defecated

• They change sex and appearance during their lifetime

• Size: less than 1 foot to 4 feet (30-120 centimeters)
