The telescope octopus (Amphitretus pelagicus) is a species of pelagic octopus found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
It is transparent, almost colorless, and has 8 arms.
It is the only octopus to have tubular eyes, hence the reason it is commonly referred to as telescope octopus.
