OSCILLATE OCTOPUS (Amphioctopus siamensis)
also known as "MOTOTI"

Members of the genus Amphioctopus reside in tropical and subtropical waters. These octopuses are found primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans but representatives can also be found in the Atlantic. They are characterized by arms that are about 2 or 3 times their mantle length with deep lateral webs and very shallow dorsal webs. This genus can be further divided into two subgroups, one group with ocellate octopuses, the other with non-ocellate octopuses.
