'''''Tremoctopus''''' is a genus of [[pelagic]] [[cephalopods]], containing four species that occupy surface to mid-waters in subtropical and tropical oceans.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tolweb.org/Tremoctopus|title=Tremoctopus|website=tolweb.org|access-date=25 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190917172619/http://www.tolweb.org/Tremoctopus/|archive-date=17 September 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> They are commonly known as '''blanket octopuses''', in reference to the long, transparent webs that connect the dorsal and dorsolateral [[cephalopod arm|arms]] of the adult females. The other arms are much shorter and lack webbing.
