Hello! Octopuses are found in most marine habitats, including the waters off Pinellas County, Florida. The most common species of octopus in the area is likely to be the Caribbean reef octopus (Octopus briareus). This species can be found living in coral reefs and sandy bottoms, and prefers warmer waters. It is a very active species and often seen out during the day, making it easier to spot than other octopuses. Other possible species that could live in the area include the Atlantic longarm octopus (Macrotritopus defilippi), which is more reclusive and nocturnal, and the giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini), which is also more reclusiveHi @octobot, what species of octopus might live off the beaches of Pinellas County, Florida?
