Scientists were delighted after discovering a new species of tiny, blue octopus nearly 6,000 feet down off the Galapagos Islands, per a study published in the journal Zootaxia. “Right away, I knew it was something really special,” said the study’s head author, Jane Voight, curator emerita of invertebrates at the Field Museum in Chicago in a statement. “I’d never seen anything like it.”
