conspecific, O. californiana would be a synonym of O. albatrossi (as the latter was described first in 1920, the former in 1949). Another undescribed Opisthoteuthis may occur in the north-east Pacific, overlapping the distribution of O. californiana, this species is still being described but in media was given the name 'Opisthoteuthis adorabilis' (but this is not yet a valid scientific binomial name is it lacks a published description). Diet The stomach contents of eight Opisthoteuthis californiana were found to contain small benthic/epibenthic crustaceans including copepods, isopods, mysids, and small shrimp (crangonid or hippolytid). From observations of other Opisthoteuthis species, the extensive arm webbing is possibly used to trap small crustaceans, with the cirri and suckers moving small prey items towards the mouth (a fairly low energy feeding strategy compared to shallow water octopus). In popular culture In the Finding Nemo franchise, one of Nemo's classmates, Pearl, is a flapjack octopus. Lenny the flapjack octopus is the main character in a children's book The Adventures of a Flapjack Octopus. Flapjack octopodes also appear in ABZU along the sea floor.
