Description and habitat
Grimpoteuthis umbellata, oral
The species is not well known. The three specimens were taken from different locations; the largest was found off the Azores, and the smaller two were found off Morocco. Of the three specimens, only two were actually members of Grimpoteuthis. Only one of these two is still extant, and it is in poor condition. The largest was found at a depth of 2,235 meters.[4]
Grimpoteuthis umbellata could be the senior synonym of either Grimpoteuthis wuelkeri or Grimpoteuthis discoveryi.[4][1]
The large specimen is 250 millimeters long, and its mantle is 46 millimeters long.[3] Its first arm is 100 millimeters long. Each arm has between 65 and 68 suckers.[4]
gollark: How do you allocate land if not some kind of market mechanism? It seems like the really low rent would work like rent controls or whatever in that it's basically just first-come-first-serve.
gollark: Sounds like an exciting arbitrage opportunity.
gollark: I would be willing to take that chance for unreasonably large amounts of money.
gollark: There are a bunch of annoying questions which I could resolve much more easily with information from future versions of me, except I *also* probably need access to the counterfactuals somehow.
gollark: Oh, I assumed you were analogizing the random future things to a giftcard, but great?
