Hello

Hi folks, I have a couple plans to make this page a bit better. I wanted to organize the information already provided in the article into a "Physical Characteristics" section and a "Behavior" section, with subsections for mating behaviors and weapon use. I also wanted to add information about their predators and possibly their taxonomy. MaddisonLessard (talk) 12:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Geographic range and male's finding

There's a strange difference between these two informations: is this species common in australian water? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.25.31.64 (talk) 09:43, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, also a female blanket octopus was seen in Australian waters, see [1]. However, it is quite likely that the Australian blanket octopuses belong to the species Tremoctopus gracilis instead of Tremoctopus violaceus, see [2]. --130.180.18.14 (talk) 10:19, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
