The size of a golf ball: Tiny blue octopus discovered nearly 6,000 feet deep in Galápagos

Researchers found a tiny blue octopus nearly 6,000 feet deep near the Galápagos during an ROV dive.

Scientists believe it may be an undescribed species, but formal taxonomic study is still needed.

The discovery points to more hidden deep-sea biodiversity in the Galápagos region.

It also highlights the conservation value of continued exploration in the Galápagos Marine Reserve.
