Dumbo Octopus
These funny named dumbo octopus live in the deep sea and most have prominent ear-like fins which protrude from the mantle just above their lateral eyes. Additionally, they all seem to have a U or V shaped shell in their mantle, giving them a bell shaped appearance. While on the other hand, some species are short, squat and yellow, and some also have suckers, in addition to spines, on all 8 webbed arms.
