FEMALE
Blanket Octopus is defined by the long transparent webs that are connected to the arms of the adult female octopus.Females can grow to over 2 meters in length whereas the teeny males only reach around a few centimeters...Blanket Octopuses lack of ink. Instead of using ink to scare off predators, the female (when threatened) will unfurl her large net-like membranes which billow gracefully in the water behind her. This "blanket" greatly increases her apparent size and scares any potential predator.
