 The first operational dive of Okeanos Explorer’s 2016 season, on February 27, explored depths of over 4,000 meters northeast of Necker Island (Mokumanamana) in the Hawaiian Archipelago. The dive was planned to obtain baseline information on whether a connection exists between Necker Island and Necker Ridge, a narrow feature that extends over 400 miles and protrudes past the current exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the United States. 
  
 The primary objective was to collect geological samples on the ridge in order to determine whether these have the same composition as samples that have previously been collected near Necker Island. Additionally, the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer surveyed biological communities in the area. 
  
 As the ROV was traversing a flat area of rock interspersed with sediment at 4,290 meters, it came across a remarkable little octopod sitting on a flat rock dusted with a light coat of sediment. The appearance of this animal was unlike any published records and was the deepest observation ever for this type of cephalopod. 
  
 Deep-sea octopods are easily separated into two distinct groups: (1) the cirrate, or finned, octopods (also known as “dumbo” octopods), characterized by fins on the sides of their bodies and fingerlike cirri associated with the suckers on their arms and (2) incirrate octopods, which lack both fins and cirri and are similar in appearance to common shallow-water Octopus. 
  
 The octopod imaged in detail on this first dive was a member of the second group, the incirrates. A distinctive characteristic was that the suckers were in one, rather than two, series on each arm. This animal was particularly unusual because it lacked the pigment cells, called chromatophores, typical of most cephalopods, and it did not seem very muscular. This resulted in a ghostlike appearance, leading to a comment on social media that it should be called Casper, like the friendly cartoon ghost. It is almost certainly an undescribed species and may not belong to any described genus. 
  
 Cirrate octopods have been reported to depth of over 5,000 meters. However, the deepest published reports for incirrates are all less than 4,000 meters. 
  
 After seeing this observation, I contacted my colleagues Louise Allcock (currently on a British ship near Antarctica) and Uwe Piatkowski (from Germany) and they agreed that this is something unusual and is a depth record for the incirrate octopods. We are now considering combining this observation with some other very deep incirrate observations by a German cruise in the eastern Pacific into a manuscript for publication in the scientific literature. ||||| Would you just look at him? Sprung to life out of a Pixar movie, the ghostly little fella pictured above was discovered last month by Deep Discoverer, the deep-diving robot that travels with NOAA’s Okeanos Explorer. Spotted 4,290 meters beneath the surface, it’s the deepest observation of a so-called incirrate octopus ever, and it might be a new species. 
  
 For several years, the Okeanos Explorer—the only federally-funded US ship built to explore Earth’s oceans purely for science—has been traveling the world, deploying its ROV to shine a spotlight on some of the darkest corners of the ocean floor, and live-streaming video footage to two-legged mammals with internet connections. Along the way, the mission has discovered a treasure trove of strange and adorable creatures.

 But you never what you’ll find at the ocean’s boundless bottom. When Deep Discoverer came across this little guy, it was chilling all by its lonesome on a flat rock. In a blog post, NOAA notes that while the creature is similar in appearance to common shallow water incirrate (un-finned) octopods, it has several unusual traits, including suckers in one rather than two series on each arm, and a distinct lack of muscle tone. Most notably, it lacks the chromatophore pigments that allow most octopi to change color.

 Not only is this pale pink wad of flubber further proof that Pokémon live among us, it’s another reminder that we’re tremendously ignorant about life in the deep ocean.

 Dive 1: February 27, 2016 
  
 During the first dive of the expedition to explore on the northeast side of Necker Island, the Deep Discoverer remotely operated vehicle encountered this octopus, which confused several of our shore based scientists who have never seen anything like it. Upon further review, this ghostlike octopod is almost certainly an undescribed species and may not belong to any yet-described genus.

Student:
NOAA scientists exploring the ocean depths off the coast of Hawaii may have just discovered a new species of octopus, and boy is it adorable. Gizmodo describes the tiny creature as something out of Pixar or Pokemon, while a NOAA blog post calls it ghostlike. But a scientist overheard on a video of the cephalopod may have summed it up best: "Beautiful." In addition to looking super cool, the creature is believed to be the deepest finless octopus ever seen, Forbes reports. NOAA's remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer was hunting for geologic samples on Feb. 27 when it spotted the octopus on a rock more than two-and-a-half miles below the surface. A NOAA zoologist tells National Geographic the octopus doesn't look like "anything that’s been documented in the scientific literature." It has a number of unusual traits, including a lack of muscle tone and color-changing pigments. It also has only one series of suckers instead of the typical two. "This animal is now confusing several of our shore-based scientists, who have never seen anything like this," a scientist can be overheard saying on the video of the octopus. NOAA believes the octopus is "almost certainly" a new species and possibly even a new genus. According to Forbes, the detailed video should help scientists name and classify it soon. Until then, we'll stick with the unofficial name given to it by the Internet: Casper.
