Umbrella octopus

phylum	Mollusca	Umbrella octopuses (family Opisthoteuthidae) are a group of pelagic octopuses. The body of these octopods is foreshortened along the anterior/posterior axis. The foreshortening is extreme in Opisthoteuthis which is known as the "flapjack" (pancake) devilfish due to its flattened appearance. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry.
