Cirroctopus hochbergi (common name: Four-blotched umbrella octopus[3][4]) is a cirrate octopus living between 800 and 1,070 meters deep off the coast of New Zealand.

[6] It is theorized that it and all other cirrate octopuses live in the demersal zone.

One of the greatest threats to the species is trawling, which damages its habitat.

C. hochbergi's population is currently decreasing,[7] and it may be locally extinct in areas where it once was common.

[6] Like other cirrates, it has a long lifespan and grows slowly, which could make it hard for the species to recover from declines in the population.
