you can see the relationship to the paper nautilus but this one appears (at least in the photo) to be more esthetically pleasing The paper nautilus is arguably the ugliest octopus I have seen in photos but would still like the chance to see one alive in person.

Well, once you've seen badly preserved Octopus in a jar... the paper nautilus looks like a work of creative genius! haha! These guys are pretty cool looking. I really like the big cartoony eye!
