Opisthoteuthis medusoides is a cirrate octopus living off the coast of Tanzania near Dar es Salaam.

[2] The octopus lives 400 m (1,300 ft) deep, where it occupies the benthic zone, or seafloor.

Male opisthoteuthids generally have enlarged suckers on multiple arms; O. medusoides is different, having enlarged suckers on only one arm.

[5] "A redescription of this species is badly needed," write Richard E. Young and Michael Vecchione, both scientists who research cephalopods.
