Opisthoteuthis albatrossi (common name in Japanese: オオクラゲダコ[2]) is a cirrate octopus originally found off Kinkasan in Japan.[3] This species was described from only four specimens. It is similar to Opisthoteuthis californiana;[4] the two may be the same species.[3] It is also similar to Opisthoteuthis japonica.[5]
O. albatrossi lives in the North Pacific, from Japanese waters to the Sea of Okhotsk.[6] It exists at recorded depths of 486 to 1,679 m (0.3 to 1.0 mi) below the surface.[7]
